  2. Repricing will only be triggered when both the main condition and the sub-conditions have been met. 

  3. If a scenario only matches either the main condition or the sub-condition, BQool will automatically check the next tier of conditions until it finds both the main and sub-condition are matching with the scenario. 

  4. The applied order of Conditional Repricing begins from the top to the bottom. 

Step 3: Set Repricing Strategies

After setting up the conditions, you can set different repricing strategies.

  • Rule: The specified rules will be applied for repricing.
  • Rule + Min Price: Set a new Min Price based on Lowest Price / Est. ROI / Est. Profit or Est. Profit Margin, the new Min Price and the specified rules will be applied to adjust your price whenever the condition has been triggered. .
  • Your Price:
    • Do Not Reprice - No repricing
    • Buy Box Price- Set Your New Price based on Buy Box Price +/- value
    • Your Price - Set Your New Price based on Current Your Price +/- value
    • Lowest Price - Set Your New Price based on the Lowest Price +/- value
    • Min Price - Set Your New Price based on Min Price +/- value
    • Max Price - Set Your New Price based on Max Price +/- value
    • Fixed Price – Fixed a specified price for Your Price 

☛ Note: To reset Min Price based on Est. ROI / Est. Profit / Est. Profit Margin, the cost has to be added to the listings.

Step 4: Rule Overview 

After finishing setting up the conditions and repricing rule settings, go to “Rule Overview”, and click “Save and Finish”.

Step 5: Assign Listings to Rule

Assign your newly-added conditional rules to the listings you would like to start repricing.


Examples (reference only)

If you would like to customize your price strategy based on the Buy Box Win %, BQool conditional repricer allows you to set specific rules that are triggered at different Buy Box Win % thresholds (the percentage of getting the Buy Box in the last 24 hours).

If the Buy Box Win % is above 80% in the past 24 hours, it may be advantageous to use the profit-based AI Profit Maximizer and increase the Min Price at the same time.

Take the image below for example, if the previous Est. Profit of Min was $8, adjusting the Est. Profit to $15 can result in an increase in the Min Price from $48.22 to $56.46. This strategic adjustment aims to optimize profits.

If the Buy Box Win % in the past 24 hours is between 60% and 80%, which is still within the acceptable range, it's suggested to change the rule from AI Profit Maximizer to AI Equalizer, and to make a slight reduction in the Min Price.

Take the image below for example, if the previous Est. Profit of Min was $15, reducing the Est. Profit to $10 result in an decrease in the Min Price from $56.46 to $50.58. This strategic adjustment aims to enhance Buy Box Win % by reducing Min Price and profit.

If the Buy Box Win % is below 59% in the past 24 hours, it's suggested to change the rule from AI Equalizer to sales-based AI Sales Maximizer, and to make a slight reduction in the Min Price.

Take the image below for example, if the previous Est. Profit of Min was $10, reducing the Est. Profit to $5 result in an decrease in the Min Price from $50.58 to $44.69. This strategic adjustment aims to enhance Buy Box Win % by reducing Min Price and profit.

It may be unable to increase the Buy Box Win % even if you lower the Min Price when the Buy Box Win % is below 30% in the past 24 hours. In such instances, considering both cost and profit, it's suggested to compete with the Lowest Price. This approach ensures that your price remains at the lowest t to enhance competitiveness.
