What is the Minimum Price Feature?
The minimum price feature is a pricing tool that allows you to set the lowest price you are willing to sell a product for, while maintaining a standard reference price.
It works in conjunction with the so called Flex price functionality, which automatically adjusts prices to maximize revenue. When competitors raise their prices, your price automatically adjusts to a value just below the competitor's price.
This creates a flexible price range that helps:
- Optimize sales and competitiveness
- Compete during low-price periods while maintaining healthy margins when market conditions improve.
