Floor Price and AutoPrice calculations

We know that Floor Price (or minimum price) is the lowest we will reprice your item. How does AutoPrice calculations use the Floor Price information?

Two scenarios:

1. Your items have free shipping, or Price + $0 Shipping
2. Your items have shipping costs, or Price + $x.xx Shipping

Note

• We do NOT change shipping prices
• We ONLY change the Price field
• AutoPrice rules calculate TOTAL Price, which is Price + Shipping

The best way to demonstrate this will be giving you an example.

Item	Floor Price	Price	Shipping
Item ABC	100	110	30
Item XYZ Free Ship	100	130	0

Note that BOTH items' total selling price to the buyer's door is $130.00

Lets look at a few potential competitors for the items above

1. Competitor A - $100 + $20
2. Competitor B - $120
3. Competitor C - $80 + $55

So both Competitor A and B have a total selling price of $120 and Competitor C is $135

If the AutoPrice rule is to match, StreetPricer will try to get the total selling price of Item ABC and XYZ to be at $120 as well. So they SHOULD be:

• Item ABC - $90 + $30 = $120
• Item XYZ - $120 + 0 = $120

The floor price now comes into place:

• Item ABC's price cannot be $90 as the floor price is $100. So Item ABC will drop to floor price instead of $100 + $30 = $130
• Item XYZ's can be dropped to $120 as this is still above the Floor Price.

The AutoPrice update will now update the Price field of Item ABC to $100 and Item XYZ to $120.

Item ABC will NOT have matched the lowest prices in this case.
