Price Tier on a source represents the default value to be used while sending tier prices for a product from Tryton to Magento. The product also has a similar table like this in Magento. If there are no entries in the table of the product, then these tiers are used.

Tier pricing is a tool that allows you to set different prices for items of higher quantities.
