Setting the price for the products you sell in your store can be a huge hassle when you are managing hundreds of products. While other dropshipping tools in the market need you to do it product-by-product, DSers’ feature of Pricing Rule lets you do it automatically.
All you need to do is to decide the price mark-up you want to apply to the products you are selling in order to cover your expenses.
Our pricing rule will be automatically applied to your product when you push the product from your DSers account to your Shopify store.
In this guide, we will introduce DSers’ Basic Pricing rule to you.
Pricing rule
In the Pricing rule part, you can choose how much you want to add to the original price of the product.
Go to DSers – Setting – Pricing Rule.
As you can see, there are two parts for the Pricing Rule:
-Pricing rule
-Assign cents
Applying currency rate
If you turn this on, DSers will automatically exchange the currency for your product price after the Pricing rule is applied.
You can check this article about how to set currency in DSers – Setting – Report.
Note: You don’t need to check the box to apply currency rate if you are using the same currency on both DSers and your Shopify store.
There are 3 types of pricing rules: Basic, Standard, and Advanced.
Set Basic Pricing Rule
Click the store name to show the list of pricing rules. Click the button below to activate the Basic Pricing rule.
Let's take the case of a product originally costing 10 USD for better understanding.
In the shop settings part, the general settings let you choose how much you want to add to the original price of the product.
In this case, the product will be priced at 15 USD (10 USD (original price) + 5 USD (for expenses))
You can also choose to multiply the price if that better suits your needs
In this case, the product will be priced at 20 USD (10 USD (op) x 2 (for expenses))
If you are using Compared price because you are running a promotion, you can also set it up here
In this case, the discounted product will be priced at 20 USD (10 USD (op) +10 USD (for expenses))
The original price of the product will be shown as being 30 USD (10 USD (op) x 3 (for expenses))
You can use different combinations to set your prices as well.
In this case, the discounted product will be priced at 15 USD (10 USD (op) + 5 USD (for expenses))
The original price of the product will be shown as being 30 USD (10 USD (op) + 20 (for expenses))
Don’t forget to click Save when you are done.
Assign cents
You can assign a specific cent value to the final price of your products after the Pricing rule is applied.
To do that, simply check the boxes like below and click on Save.
If you want the price of your product to be XX.99 then add 99 to the fields.
Don’t forget to click on Save when you are done.
Assuming a product’s price is 10.43 after the Pricing rule is applied.
Then, DSers will automatically change it to 10.99 as you enter 99 to Assign cents.
Now you have a complete understanding of how DSers’ Basic Pricing rule works. Use it well as it can greatly save your time and improve the efficiency for you to manage your product price.
