State pricing (Australia)

In Australia, stamp duty, registration and CTP insurance differ by state, so the same car has a different drive-away price in each one. Vyro stores a price per pricing code.

Code State or territory Currency
AU_NSW New South Wales AUD
AU_VIC Victoria AUD
AU_QLD Queensland AUD
AU_SA South Australia AUD
AU_WA Western Australia AUD
AU_TAS Tasmania AUD
AU_ACT Australian Capital Territory AUD
AU_NT Northern Territory AUD
NZ New Zealand (one price nationwide) NZD

The format is <country>_<state> where the country has states, and the country alone where it doesn’t.

The two fields

Section titled “The two fields”
  • pricing_codes is the list of codes a vehicle is priced in. Filter on this.
  • pricing_config holds the price for each code. Read from this with path.
query VictorianStock($showroomId: uuid!) {
  stocked_vehicles(
    where: {
      showroom_stocked_vehicles: { showroom_id: { _eq: $showroomId } }
      pricing_codes: { _contains: ["AU_VIC"] }
    }
    limit: 20
  ) {
    id
    pricing_codes
    vic: pricing_config(path: "AU_VIC")
  }
}

A vehicle that isn’t in a state’s pricing_codes isn’t sold there. Leave it out of that state’s results rather than showing another state’s price.

Several states at once

Section titled “Several states at once”

Use aliases to fetch more than one state in a single request:

query AllStates($id: uuid!) {
  stocked_vehicles_by_pk(id: $id) {
    nsw: pricing_config(path: "AU_NSW")
    vic: pricing_config(path: "AU_VIC")
    qld: pricing_config(path: "AU_QLD")
    wa: pricing_config(path: "AU_WA")
  }
}

Or fetch pricing_config without path to get every state in one JSON object, keyed by code.

Which states a dealer sells in

Section titled “Which states a dealer sells in”
query DealerStates($showroomId: uuid!) {
  showroom_pricing_codes(where: { showroom_id: { _eq: $showroomId } }) {
    pricing_code {
      code
      short_name
      country
      region
      currency
    }
  }
  showrooms_by_pk(id: $showroomId) {
    default_pricing_code
  }
}

default_pricing_code is the state the dealer’s own website shows when it doesn’t know where the shopper is.

Picking the shopper’s state

Section titled “Picking the shopper’s state”

Pick a state before you show a price, and say which state it’s for (“$45,990 drive away, NSW”). In order of preference:

  1. The shopper chose it, in a state picker or by entering a postcode.
  2. Their location, from IP geolocation. Most CDNs give you a region header.
  3. The dealer’s default_pricing_code.

To turn a postcode into a state, use your own postcode data, or ask which of the dealer’s locations serve that postcode:

query ServingLocation($showroomId: uuid!, $postcode: String!) {
  locations(
    where: {
      showroom_id: { _eq: $showroomId }
      primary_market_area_postcodes: { _contains: [$postcode] }
    }
    limit: 1
  ) {
    id
    name
    address
  }
}

Then turn the location’s address.state into a pricing code. It can be the full name or the abbreviation, so map both:

const AU_STATES = {
  NSW: 'NSW', 'NEW SOUTH WALES': 'NSW',
  VIC: 'VIC', VICTORIA: 'VIC',
  QLD: 'QLD', QUEENSLAND: 'QLD',
  SA: 'SA', 'SOUTH AUSTRALIA': 'SA',
  WA: 'WA', 'WESTERN AUSTRALIA': 'WA',
  TAS: 'TAS', TASMANIA: 'TAS',
  ACT: 'ACT', 'AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY': 'ACT',
  NT: 'NT', 'NORTHERN TERRITORY': 'NT',
};


function pricingCodeFor(address) {
  if (address?.country_code === 'NZ') return 'NZ';
  const state = AU_STATES[String(address?.state ?? '').trim().toUpperCase()];
  return state ? `AU_${state}` : null;
}
