Different prices for a product for different stores in magento

A new problem that we sorted out today in magento is: Having a different price for a product for different stores.

We solved it and here are the steps:

1. Goto adminpanel, System-> Manage stores

2. Create a new website, new store and new store view. I hope you won’t have any problems in creating the above.

3. Go to System-> Configuration->Catalog->Catalog, Look out for Price tab on your right hand side, Please select Catalog Price Scope to Website. This is the most important stuff.

4. Goto Catalog-> Manage products, Select your desired products to which you need to have a different price, Select the store view to which you need to set the price, select the newly created websites store view, go to prices and uncheck use default value and enter your price.

5. Repeat the same steps as many times for your stores.

That’s it. You are set now.

Please leave in comments if you cannot solve it by yourself.

Thanks
