In Odoo Settings for the Website, you set up your Pricelist by enabling the feature under the Shop – Products section.
Here, you can configure whether product prices on your website are displayed with Tax Included or Tax Excluded.

This global setting determines if the prices shown to customers already include taxes or if taxes are added later at checkout, and it applies uniformly across all your websites.

You manage pricelists further by creating and customizing them under Website ‣ eCommerce ‣ Pricelists, allowing different pricing rules based on criteria like country, currency, or customer segment.

In Odoo Settings for the Website, you can configure the option to “Invoice what is ordered,” which means customers are invoiced as soon as the sales order is confirmed, streamlining your billing process.

Finally, you can customize your SEO settings to improve your website’s visibility and search engine ranking, helping attract more visitors.
