Repricing Strategies — Overview

Repricing is the dynamic adjustment of your product prices to maintain competitiveness while protecting profitability.

SellerMagnet provides six distinct repricing strategies — four designed for Resellers (who compete for the BuyBox) and two designed for Brand Owners / Private Label sellers (who control their own listings).

Each strategy uses specific logic to react to market conditions such as competitor prices, BuyBox changes, stock levels, or sales performance. Understanding the intent and mechanism behind each strategy allows sellers to deploy the right one for their business model.

Lowest Price

Compete directly with multiple resellers

Continuously sets your price just below the lowest competitor

Best for high-competition markets, but monitor margins closely

BuyBox

Maximize BuyBox ownership

Adjusts your price based on BuyBox winner data

Balance profit margins with BuyBox share to avoid over-discounting

Position

Maintain a fixed rank among competitors

Keeps your price at a specific position (e.g., 2nd or 3rd lowest)

Great for predictable margins and stable visibility

Same Price

Align price with a specific competitor

Mirrors a selected seller’s price automatically

Use when enforcing MAP or parity agreements

BrandGuard

Protect brand pricing and optimize profit

Adjusts dynamically by sales velocity, stock, and competitor ASINs

Perfect for brand owners to maintain dynamic but safe pricing

Competitor ASIN-BuyBox Sync

Mirror another product’s BuyBox price

Syncs with another ASIN’s BuyBox using an adjustable multiplier

Ideal for cross-ASIN pricing alignment or bundles


Choosing the Right Strategy

Each strategy fulfills a distinct operational need. Understanding how your products compete is the key factor:

  • Resellers operate in competitive listings shared with multiple sellers. Their goal is to win or retain the BuyBox as efficiently as possible.

  • Brand Owners or Private Label sellers manage unique listings and focus on pricing that reflects demand, inventory, and brand value rather than competition.

If you sell both branded and resale products, combine strategies: use BuyBox or Position for shared listings and BrandGuard for your owned products.
