Create Strategy Repricer API Overview

If the seller does not wish to use the default strategy, the seller can quickly create custom strategies with the Create Strategy endpoint to apply to their items, and then set the rules needed to execute.

The Create Strategy endpoint accepts JSON object with repricerStrategy and strategy information.

The strategy information has: strategyType, adjustmentType, and adjustmentValue. The strategyType will be External Price.

Input Requirements

The following items are required in the request:

External Price – Adjusts your prices to meet or beat prices found on other sites. This strategy will automatically adjust prices while maintaining the same meet or beat by a set margin. For example, if the external site price increases from $15.00 to $16.00 and you have established a rule to Beat By $0.20, then your price will increase to $15.80. To make this strategy effective, assign items that are offered on other marketplaces.

Adjustment Value – This is the value by which you want your offer to beat other offers. A valid value can be any floating-point value greater than or equal to 0.

Adjustment Type – This can be either UNIT or PERCENTAGE based on the value to be adjusted.

Enable – This is the value by which you have enable or disable your strategies. True is used to enable strategies whereas false is used to pause the strategies.
