Pricing & profit optimisation — Pricing & profit optimisation

Marketplace pricing

Prices per item per marketplace with commission, fees, shipping and campaign discounts — so more sales don't become more losses.

The problem we address

On marketplaces, commission, fixed fees, shipping and campaign discounts stack up. Sellers often match a competitor's price without realising the per-order margin has turned negative.

What we do

  • Contribution margin per item per marketplace compared with the direct channel
  • A price floor and discount ceiling per marketplace
  • Rules for reacting to competitor prices: when to match and when not to
  • A campaign plan with discount caps and profit measurement
  • Price consistency across channels

Deliverables

  1. Margin table per item per channel

  2. Marketplace pricing and discount rules

  3. Campaign profit reports

KPIs we would track

  • Contribution per order per marketplace
  • Share of loss-making orders
  • Cross-channel price gaps

Who this fits

Brands and sellers active on one or more marketplaces.

Frequently asked questions

Do we always need to be cheapest?

No. For many items seller rating, delivery and stock matter too; the reaction rule must keep the margin floor.

Is there a free tool to start?

Yes — Channel Margin Comparison shows direct, marketplace and partner margins side by side.
