The Priceoption area allows you to define dynamic pricing in the point of sale. This is intended for scripts to add pricing rules that apply to future sales. For example, AddRule(priceoption,) can be used to add a 10% discount for next sale of "Soap" when you spend more than "$30 on frozen food". The AddRule command adds the pricing rule, it is not deciding the conditions of when the rule should be stored.

Priceoptions added via this command are sent to all other lanes immediately so that the pricing is immediately available at any checkout.

The available directives are:
