Curious how repricers are handling this situation, some listings only reveal their prices after the item is added to the cart and you reach the checkout page.
Do repricers take these hidden prices into account when adjusting, or is this something they can’t detect?
Pricers use the API, maybe the API is reporting.
I hope so.
Most repricers can’t detect or react to hidden prices that only appear at checkout because Amazon’s API doesn’t provide that data, and since the prices aren’t visible on the product page or offer listing, repricers typically ignore them during pricing decisions. This can cause issues when you’re competing with a seller who appears to have no price listed, but actually has a lower price at checkout, leading your repricer to think you have the lowest price when you don’t. Some sellers manually monitor these listings or adjust pricing strategies to avoid getting undercut unknowingly, but there’s currently no foolproof repricer solution for this specific scenario.
You’re absolutely right most repricers struggle with hidden prices that only appear at checkout because Amazon’s API doesn’t provide that data. Since these prices aren’t visible on the product page or offer listing, repricers usually ignore them, which can create problems when competing with sellers who seem to have no price listed but actually offer a lower price at checkout. This can make your repricer assume you have the lowest price when you don’t. Some sellers try to manually track these listings or tweak their pricing strategies to stay competitive, but as of now, there’s no perfect repricer solution for this issue. It’s definitely a tricky situation!
Thank you
