- Estimated setup time: 3.5 hours
What You Get
- 20-30% increase in sales volume by winning the Buy Box

The Workflow
Monitor Competitor Prices
Set up a scraper to check the prices of your top 5 competitors for your best-selling SKUs every 30 minutes.
Watch out: Respect marketplace terms of service and use proxies to avoid being blocked by anti-scraping measures.
Calculate Optimal Price
Use a logic node to determine your new price. Formula: min(Competitor_Price - 0.01, Target_Margin_Floor). If the competitor price drops below your floor, stay at your floor.
Watch out: Don't start a "race to the bottom" that destroys your profit. Always have a strict price floor.
Update Marketplace Listings
Automatically push the new price to your Amazon or Shopify store via their respective APIs.
Watch out: Batch your updates to avoid hitting API rate limits during high-volatility periods.
