# Pricing cache

eCommerce users from the same account and sales area can experience faster loading times, as pricing information will be read from a global cache instead of a session cache. To optimize the overall response time of the eCommerce application, configure a server-level global pricing cache.

## Configure a pricing cache

To configure a pricing cache in [Zilliant CPQ](/v1/docs/about-cpq):

1. From the left navigation area, select **Administration**.
2. From the top tabs, select **Master Data Management**.
3. Select the **Setting Boolean** row.
4. Select **Use Global Cache for Commerce Product Pricing**.
5. Set the **Setting Value Boolean** switch to **YES**. If set to **NO**, the eCommerce application reads from a session cache instead of a global cache when a user is signed in to eCommerce.
6. Return to **Master Data Management** and select the **Setting Numeric** row.
7. Select **Cache Size for Commerce Product Pricing**.
8. Enter a cache size in the **Setting Value Numeric** field.
9. Restart the server.

### Recommended cache sizes

The following table lists recommended cache sizes. Actual cache sizes differ based on user count, number of products, and other parameters. Adjust cache sizes on a case-by-case basis.

| Cache type | Cache size (number of products) |
| --- | --- |
| Global cache | 1,000,000 |
| Session cache | 50,000 |
