Goal: keep pricing competitive and compliant across channels by applying the right policy per destination.
1) Price lists per channel
- Derived lists: start from a base list and apply channel factors (e.g., +fee, +shipping, promo overlays).
- Eligibility: include/exclude SKUs per channel; track reasons (licensing, hazmat, size).
2) MAP/MSRP compliance
- MAP floor: never advertise below MAP; use coupons or cart-only pricing when allowed.
- MSRP display: show strike-through only when policies permit; keep evidence for audits.
3) Marketplace fees & take-rates
- Landed price model: base price + fee + shipping + tax; simulate to protect margin floors.
- Fee drift: monitor category fee changes and reprice impacted SKUs.
4) Rounding conventions
- Psychological endings: .99/.95 per locale; apply after VAT and fees.
- Banker’s rounding vs marketing rounding: pick once and document exceptions.
5) Regional pricing
- FX windows: reprice when FX moves beyond a threshold; store FX source + timestamp.
- VAT/GST: compute gross/net per region consistently, then round using local conventions.
6) Rollout & governance
- Change sets: stage price changes; preview impact (margin, competitiveness) before publish.
- Audit & rollback: log who/what/when and keep quick revert for incidents.
Outcome
Channel-aware pricing protects margin, reduces policy violations, and keeps offers consistent across markets.
