Scheduled Pricing PRO
What it does
Scheduled Pricing lets you set different prices for different times — weekends, holidays, overnight, or any schedule you define.
When to use it
- You want to raise prices on weekends when more shoppers are online
- You want to freeze prices overnight so competitors can't undercut while you sleep
- You run sales or promotions on specific dates
- You want different strategies for different days
When NOT to use it
- You want 24/7 automated repricing (use Buy Box Targeting instead)
- You only sell a few products (not worth the setup)
How it works
You create rules with:
- Time window: when the rule applies (days + hours)
- Price action: what happens during that window
- Priority: which rule wins if multiple overlap (higher number wins)
Example rules
- Weekend markup: Friday 6pm → Monday 6am, raise prices 3%
- Overnight freeze: Every day 11pm → 7am, freeze prices (no changes)
- Tuesday sale: Every Tuesday, drop prices 5%
Price actions
- Percentage adjustment: +3%, -5%, etc.
- Fixed price: set a specific price
- Freeze: prevent any price changes during this window
- Sleep reset: set price to ceiling overnight (maximize when you're not watching)
- Sleep freeze: hold current price overnight (don't change while sleeping)
Example
Your normal strategy is Buy Box Targeting. With Scheduled Pricing on top:
- Weekdays 7am–11pm: Buy Box Targeting runs normally
- Weekdays 11pm–7am: Sleep freeze — holds whatever price BBT set during the day
- Weekends: +3% markup on top of BBT's price — weekend shoppers are less price-sensitive
Rule priority
If two rules overlap, the one with the higher priority number wins.
Example:
- Rule 1 (priority 5): Weekend +3%
- Rule 2 (priority 10): Black Friday -15%
On Black Friday (which is also a weekend): Rule 2 wins because priority 10 > 5.
