Dynamic Pricing for E-commerce

Discover how automated, data-driven pricing helps online retailers maximize revenue, stay competitive, and respond to market changes in real time.

What is Dynamic Pricing?

Dynamic pricing is a strategy where product prices are automatically adjusted based on real-time market conditions, competitor pricing, demand fluctuations, inventory levels, and other business rules. Unlike static pricing, dynamic pricing enables e-commerce businesses to optimize revenue by setting the right price at the right time.

With FastCompete's dynamic pricing engine, you can automate price adjustments across your entire catalog while maintaining margin guardrails, MAP compliance, and brand positioning—all in real time.

How Dynamic Pricing Helps Your E-commerce Business

From improved margins to better competitiveness—here's what smart pricing delivers.

Maximize Revenue

Capture more value by raising prices when demand is high or competitors are out of stock, and stay competitive when the market dips.

Protect Margins

Set minimum price floors and margin thresholds to ensure you never sell below cost, even during aggressive competitive moves.

React in Real Time

Automatically respond to competitor price changes within minutes instead of days, keeping you ahead of the curve.

Win More Sales

Increase your "winning price" position on price comparison sites and marketplaces to capture more price-sensitive buyers.

How Dynamic Pricing Works

A closed-loop system that monitors, decides, and acts automatically.

1

Monitor Competitors

FastCompete crawls competitor websites and marketplaces to collect prices, availability, and promotions continuously.

Apply Pricing Rules

Define your strategy: beat lowest price by X%, match market median, maintain minimum margin—all configurable per SKU or category.

3

Calculate Optimal Prices

Our engine processes market data against your rules, constraints, and guardrails to compute the optimal price for each product.

4

Push to Your Store

Approved prices are automatically pushed to Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, or any platform via API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dynamic pricing legal?

Yes, dynamic pricing is legal and widely used in e-commerce. However, you should ensure compliance with local pricing regulations and avoid discriminatory pricing practices. FastCompete includes built-in guardrails to help you stay compliant.

Will customers notice price changes?

Customers expect prices to vary—they see it on Amazon, airlines, and hotels every day. With proper constraints (e.g., limiting change frequency or magnitude), you can optimize prices without causing friction.

How quickly can I get started?

Most customers go live within 1-2 weeks. Connect your store, import your catalog, set up competitor monitoring, configure your rules, and start automating. Our team provides onboarding support throughout.

Can I control which products get repriced?

Absolutely. You can include/exclude products, categories, or brands. Set different rules for different segments. Use approval workflows for certain price changes. You stay in control.

What if a competitor has wrong data?

FastCompete includes anomaly detection to flag suspicious price data (e.g., prices that are unrealistically low). You can also exclude specific competitors or set validation rules.
