Market Rules
How broad pricing automation works in Pricemaster and how to build rules that respond to the market safely.
What They Do
Market Rules are the main way to automate pricing across a product set
A Market Rule applies a pricing strategy to a selected group of products. Rules are ordered by priority, so the rules list is important: when several rules could apply, the higher-priority rule takes the lead.
Strategy Types
When to use each rule type
Follow
Use this when you want to anchor pricing to a named competitor or a market position such as cheapest or second-cheapest.
Flash
Use this for short-term promotional or aggressive moves where speed matters more than steady-state pricing.
Filters And Controls
How to narrow and protect a rule
- Filter by supplier to target a manufacturer or brand group.
- Filter by tags to target a commercial segment such as seasonal products, promoted items, or a specific internal workflow.
- Use margin protection to stop the rule falling below your acceptable threshold.
- Use price endings or rounding if you want commercially clean outputs such as
.99style pricing. - Use start and end timing if the rule should only run within a fixed window.
Tip: start by simulating a rule before you run it live, especially if the rule covers a large number of products.
