# Managing pricing

> Create tire pricing matrices and assign the right fixed or percentage markup to each customer.

A pricing matrix combines a base-price scheme, a fixed or percentage markup, and selected price sources. Each customer can have one assigned matrix.

If you delete a customer's assigned matrix, your default matrix applies instead. **Tire Pricing Matrices** appears only for supported accounts.

<Note>
  Using the dealer dashboard instead? **Tire Pricing Matrices** sits under **Organization** in your settings, and the customer page sits under **B2B & Fleet Dashboard** as **B2B Customers**.
</Note>
