About This Automation
Repricing to hold the Buy Box requires someone to check every competitor price by hand, calculate a new margin-safe price, and update each listing one at a time. Doing this manually means slow reactions, missed Buy Box losses, and hours spent on repetitive checks instead of growing the catalog.
An automated version watches competitor pricing and Buy Box ownership continuously and adjusts listings the moment a threat appears. This keeps more SKUs in the Buy Box, protects margin floors, and frees the team from constant manual monitoring.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Every 15 minutes during business hours, the automation pulls live pricing and Buy Box status for all monitored SKUs.
Current competitor prices and Buy Box ownership are retrieved for each active listing.
The automation applies margin floor and ceiling rules to recommend a new price for any SKU that lost the Buy Box or is at risk.
When the recommended price sits inside the pre-approved margin band, the new price is pushed straight to the live listing.
When the recommended price falls outside the approved band, it is posted for a manager to approve or override.
Every price change, automatic or manually approved, is written to the pricing history log with a timestamp and reason.
The team receives a summary of Buy Box wins, losses, and price changes for that cycle.
