Deploy automated scraper agents to monitor competitor storefronts hourly and adjust your Shopify variant pricing dynamically inside safe, cost-protected margin floors.
The Repricing Pipeline
Scrape competitor pricing, evaluate cost margins, and update store variants autonomously.
Agents crawl target competitor product landing pages hourly, capturing pricing, discount structures, and stock statuses via rotated proxy networks.
Scraped data is compared against your internal margin database to determine the optimal variant price adjustment within your configured bounds.
Approved price changes update variant pricing structures in Shopify Admin via GraphQL mutations, logged with a before/after record.
Every price change is written to a central history log; flows above a configured delta can require a Slack approval before committing.
Technical Features
Set strict baseline bounds so the pricing agent never discounts variants below your configured cost margin, no matter what a competitor does.
If a competitor's site layout changes, models parse the new HTML schema dynamically to correct selectors rather than silently failing.
Track every variant update inside a central history log, showing previous vs. current pricing and which competitor signal triggered it.
The repricer weighs demand elasticity signals, not just competitor price, to avoid a race-to-the-bottom on items where price isn't the primary driver.
Walkthrough
The hourly scrape detects a competitor has dropped price 15% on a directly comparable SKU.
The margin engine checks your cost floor and current inventory position for the matching item.
Since the drop would breach your configured floor price, the agent instead applies the maximum allowable discount and flags the gap.
A Slack notification summarizes the competitive gap for a manager to review a potential promotional response.
The price change and its full reasoning trail are logged to the audit dashboard for later review.
