When you have entered all your details in the correct way, it is time to import your products. To speed up the import of all your products, we use a CSV import. With this you put all your products (that you want to have scanned) in a CSV file and you import all products directly to your Pricesearch account. In the image below (shown when you click on “import products”) you can download the sample file, so you know exactly what to enter where.

Do you want your products to be monitored by all providers? Then Pricesearch has good news for you! It is not only possible to follow the competitors that you have added yourself, but you can also let Pricesearch find new competitors for you. This is done through AutoMatch. With this, Pricesearch searches for similar products by using the characteristics that you have given yourself when importing your products.

In addition, you can switch on “Marketplaces”, so that Pricesearch can also collect products from Google Shopping. To use this, you must set both buttons to “On”. Like the image below:

[/av_textblock]

[av_image src=’https://www.pricesearch.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Blog-AutoMatch-1.png’ attachment=’3575′ attachment_size=’full’ align=’left’ styling=” hover=” link=” target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ copyright=” animation=’no-animation’ av_uid=’av-6ku3e3′ id=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” av_uid=’av-27jssr’ id=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

When both are set to ‘On’ you can save the settings. Pricesearch then immediately goes to work to find new providers for you.

Pricesearch has developed “Dynamic Pricing” to save you a lot of time. This allows you to decide and enter what percentage difference you want to have per product / product group with one or more providers. To use this, you must add rules to the products. Below you can see how adding such a rule works:

[/av_textblock]

[av_image src=’https://www.pricesearch.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Blog-Dnamic-Pricing-1.png’ attachment=’3579′ attachment_size=’full’ align=’left’ styling=” hover=” link=” target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ copyright=” animation=’no-animation’ av_uid=’av-6ku3e3′ id=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” av_uid=’av-27jssr’ id=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

To ensure that you go through this as quickly and easily as possible, we help you again by completing the fields:

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” av_uid=’av-27jssr’ id=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]

Dynamic Price name: Here you enter the name of the rule. (Give a clear name to the rule so that you can easily find it again)

Apply this rule to products in category all products that belong to the same category: (you entered the category when importing your products)

Apply this rule to products with brand all products that fall under the same brand: (you entered the brand when importing your products)

My price is…% or € lower / higher / highest than the lowest / median / mode / competitor provider and will be rounded to ..

Activate minimum margin: (Add minimum margin yes or no) Ensures that you never offer products below your own cost price.

Minimum margin of the cost price: (what percentage do you want to stay above your cost price?)

Position how important the rule is: How important is this rule? For the most important rule you enter a 1. For the second most important rule you enter a 2 and so on.

Then click save to make the rule take effect.

You can adjust this to your ideal times by clicking on “My account” and then on “Notification settings”. Once you have done this you will get the following image:
