Competitor prices can be obtained from various sources, such as:
- A file with a competitor's price list in one of the XLS, XML formats. CSV etc. For example, if a competitor's website has a link to such a price list, you can use it to compare your prices and competitor's prices, see how to add a competitor's price to the Elbuz system.
- Competitor's website as a source of prices and product availability. How to configure the download of products from any site is described in this section .
- Marketplaces that provide information on a product for several stores at once. How to get competitor prices from the Yandex Market website. How to get competitors' prices from the Hotline website
After receiving the prices of competitors, the question arises how to process this information. There is no single answer here, it all depends on your imagination, you can simply subtract 10 from the competitor's price and make your price lower or use your individual pricing strategy based on market prices.
Formula Examples
If the price is higher than the price of a competitor whose ID = 1 (ID from the list of counterparties), then minus 10 from the competitor's price
IF( {Товар БК: Цена} > [[ОтКонтрагента_1 {Price list: Price}]] [[ОтКонтрагента_1 {Price list: Price}]] - 10, {Товар БК: Цена})
If you want to select min. price among all competitors, then compare it with your price and subtract 10 from the competitor's price
IF( {Товар БК: Цена} > [[ОтГруппыКонтрагента_2 MIN(IF({Price list: Price}=0, NULL, {Price list: Price}))]] [[ОтГруппыКонтрагента_2 MIN(IF({Price list: Price}=0, NULL, {Price list: Price}))]] - 10, {Товар БК: Цена})
If you want to select min. price among all competitors, then compare it with your price, if it is higher than that of a competitor, then subtract 10 from the competitor’s price, but the competitor’s price should not be cheaper than the purchase price (cost) + 3%
IF( {Товар БК: Цена} > [[ОтГруппыКонтрагента_2 MIN(IF({Price list: Price}=0, NULL, {Price list: Price}))]] AND
[[ОтГруппыКонтрагента_2 MIN(IF({Price list: Price}=0, NULL, {Price list: Price}))]] >= {Товар БК: Цена себестоимость} * 1. 03,
[[ОтГруппыКонтрагента_2 MIN(IF({Price list: Price}=0, NULL, {Price list: Price}))]] - 10,
{Товар БК: Цена})

IF( [[ <code>ОтКонкурентаСтрока_2 {Price list: Price}]] >0, ( [[ <code>ОтКонкурентаСтрока_1 {Price list: Price}]] + [[ ОтКонкурентаСтрока_2 {Price list: Price}]] ) / 2, {Price list: Price})[[RowFromCompetitorTP_N{PriceCompetitorsTP: Price}]]
