Price Discount

Hi,

Does anyone know the Price Discount tool properly works. I am setting up a Price Discount, where i select certain products, on the next page it shows a 5% discount, so an item which is sold for $33 is shown as 31.50 for example, when i submit the the page, the next thing i see the prices is dropped to $18.90. How is that possible, who is doing these adjustments to the price, it says next to the price *please update your lowest price to so and so*. what can i do to not have that happening.

thank you

Hi @Seller_YTc81ZVUMWZfU

  1. When creating a percentage-off discount, you'll need to set an absolute minimum price (the button stays grayed out until you do). I recommend setting your minimum price a few cents below your intended discounted price. For example, if you want a 5% discount on a $33 product (making it $31.35), set the minimum price at $31.33 to ensure the discount works.
  2. Regarding the "please update your lowest price" message - are you seeing this on the discount page or in your inventory? I saw similar warnings in my inventory because the system detected the discounted price as a reference price while the regular price remained unchanged. While it's confusing to get these warnings for your own discount, it seems to be how the system works. You might want to check if you have any automated pricing rules set up (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G201994820) that could be affecting your prices.

For reference, according to the "Price discounts > Eligibility criteria" section (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G7F8CQ4EJ5YA4272), discounts must be:

  • At least 5% off the 30-day lowest price bought by customers
  • At least 5% off the current price
  • At least 5% off the reference price (for products with a validated reference price)

Make sure you meet all these criteria to avoid any issues.

Kind regards, Michael

Price Discount tools work properly. I have been using them for 10 years.

You are doing something wrong and need some guidance from a moderator.
