Q & A

What is the purpose of the price settings in Listing Mirror?

The price settings in Listing Mirror allow users to control how their listing prices are set for different marketplaces, such as Amazon and Walmart, by choosing between automatic updates or manual price management.

What does selecting 'Use external price' in the Amazon integration settings do?

Selecting 'Use external price' allows Listing Mirror to automatically update the prices of your Amazon listings based on prices set in another Amazon storefront or a separate price feed, rather than importing prices directly from the Amazon Seller Central account.

What happens if you leave the 'Use external price' option blank in Amazon settings?

If you leave the 'Use external price' option blank, Listing Mirror will not update prices automatically from an external source. Instead, you will have to either manually update prices in Listing Mirror or import prices directly from your Amazon Seller Central account.

What are the three options for controlling imported prices in Listing Mirror?

The three options are: (1) Import price from Amazon for this channel only, which updates only Amazon Marketplace listings; (2) Import price from Amazon and update product, which updates both Amazon and non-Amazon marketplace listings; and (3) Manage price and Listing Mirror, where you manually manage prices in Listing Mirror and it updates prices on Amazon.

What is the main difference between 'Import price from Amazon' and 'Manage price and Listing Mirror'?

The 'Import price from Amazon' option imports prices from Amazon and applies them to specific listings, but all pricing updates are made in Amazon Seller Central. 'Manage price and Listing Mirror', on the other hand, allows users to manually update prices within Listing Mirror and automatically sync these prices across Amazon and other marketplaces.

What does 'Always use this price' mean in the context of price imports?

'Always use this price' means that Listing Mirror will import the regular price of a product and ignore any sale prices that may exist for that product on Amazon, ensuring that the standard price is used for updates.

Why is it not recommended to import sale prices in Listing Mirror?

Importing sale prices is not recommended because there is a delay in syncing sale prices. While regular prices are updated in Listing Mirror every 15 minutes, sale prices can take up to an hour to sync, which can result in inconsistencies.

What setting should be selected to update Walmart marketplace prices automatically?

To automatically update Walmart marketplace prices, you should select 'Update price' in the Walmart integration settings, which will allow Listing Mirror to apply the prices set within the platform to your Walmart listings.

What should you do if you want to set prices directly in Walmart Seller Central rather than using Listing Mirror for price updates?

If you want to set prices directly in Walmart Seller Central, leave the 'Update price' option blank in the Listing Mirror Walmart integration settings. This will prevent Listing Mirror from overwriting any pricing updates made directly in Walmart Seller Central.

How can Listing Mirror be used to synchronize Amazon pricing with other marketplaces?

Listing Mirror can synchronize Amazon pricing with other marketplaces by selecting 'Import price from Amazon and update product' in the Amazon integration settings and then selecting 'Use external price' in other marketplace integrations, like Walmart. This ensures that prices on other marketplaces match those set in Amazon.
