User Question
"My profit is too low. Can AI help me fix my prices?"
Answer
Yes. Just tell AI Agent what's wrong—it will diagnose the issue, help build a fixed formula, run a simulation, and then help you apply the new prices.
Here's what AI Agent can help with:
- Diagnose why your current prices aren't working
- Build a complete pricing formula based on your goal—fixed profit, minimum profit, or profit margin
- Run a simulation with real or example data to show you the adjusted price and profit
- Apply the new prices to your products
- Set price endings (like .99) and Compare-at Price
What AI Agent can't do:
- Make the final call on your prices—AI Agent can suggest, but you decide.
Tip: AI Custom/Advanced pricing rules require a paid plan. Free plan users can use basic pricing—upgrading unlocks more complex conditional pricing and multi-variable formulas.
Workflow
Step 1: Start a New Conversation
Go to the New Task menu to start a conversation with AI Agent.
Step 2: Tell AI Agent What's Wrong
Tell AI Agent what's wrong with your prices in plain language. For example:
"My profit is too low. Help me increase it."
Step 3: Answer AI Agent's Questions (If needed)
If AI Agent needs more information, it will show you options to pick from—like your target profit margin, which cost to measure against, and which products to update.
Just select an option, or type your own answer.
Step 4: Review the Formula and Simulation (If needed)
AI Agent will show you:
- The complete selling-price formula
- How price ranges are set (if applicable)
- A simulation using real or example data
- The final selling price, Compare-at Price, and simulated profit
Once you've reviewed the formula and simulation, AI Agent will ask: Do you want to save this pricing rule?
- Save to DSers Settings: Use it for ongoing pricing
- One-time use: Use it just this once—nothing gets saved to DSers Settings.
If you're updating specific products, AI Agent may skip the rule-saving step and apply the new prices directly after your confirmation.
Step 5: Apply the New Prices to Your Products
Once the pricing rule is confirmed, AI Agent will ask if you want to update your product prices. The process depends on your scope:
- Whole store or entire list: The saved Pricing Rule is used to calculate the new prices
- Specific products: You can use the Pricing Rule, or apply a one-time price directly
If you choose to update, AI Agent will show you which products are affected and how the prices will change.
Nothing happens until you confirm.
Step 6: Review the Update Result
AI Agent will tell you:
- Which products were updated successfully
- Which ones failed and why
If something fails, AI Agent will explain the reason and what you can do next.
