Price Rules

A price rule changes a product's price as it crosses between the two stores, without touching the price in the source catalogue. Sellers use them to add a marketplace margin, to absorb a commission, or to run a different price point on one channel.

Open My Account → Shopify Connector → Manage Account → Price Rule.

The Price Rule tab, showing the rule list and the Add Price Rule button

Turn rules on first

Price rules do nothing until the account's Price Rule Applicable For setting says which direction they apply to. On the Settings tab choose:

OptionEffect
NoneRules are ignored — the default
Import ProductRules adjust the price of products coming from Shopify into WooCommerce
Export ProductRules adjust the price of products going from WooCommerce to Shopify

Only one direction can be active at a time.

How a rule is chosen

For each product being synced, the connector looks for a rule where:

  1. the rule belongs to this Shopify account; and
  2. the product's price falls inside the Price From – Price To band; and
  3. the rule's status is Enable; and
  4. the account's Price Rule Applicable For matches the direction being synced.

If no rule matches, the price crosses unchanged.

Note

Bands cannot overlap. The connector checks a new or edited rule against the existing rules for the same store, and rejects it with Price Rule Already Exists. if either end of the new band falls inside a band that is already there. You never have to reason about which of two overlapping rules wins, because you cannot create the situation.

Worked examples

Add a flat ₹50 to everything between ₹500 and ₹2,000 on import

FieldValue
Product Price From500
Product Price To2000
Operation TypeFixed
OperationIncrease
Price Value50
Price Rule StatusEnable

With Price Rule Applicable For set to Import Product, a Shopify product priced ₹800 is created in WooCommerce at ₹850. A product priced ₹300 falls outside the band and is unchanged.

Take 10% off everything up to ₹1,000 on export

FieldValue
Product Price From1
Product Price To1000
Operation TypePercentage
OperationDecrease
Price Value10

With Price Rule Applicable For set to Export Product, a WooCommerce product at ₹900 is created on Shopify at ₹810.

The safety net

If an adjustment would leave the price at zero or below, the connector keeps the original price. A rule can never produce a free or negative product.

Managing existing rules

ActionEdit Price Rule

Bulk Actions offers:

  • Delete Selected — removes the rules permanently.
  • Enable Selected — turns rules on.
  • Disable Selected — turns rules off without deleting them.

An account with no rules shows No Price Rules Found.

Tips

Disable rather than delete when you are testing. A disabled rule keeps its configuration and can be switched back on in one action.

What price rules do not do

  • They do not change the price in the source store — only the copy created in the destination store.
  • They do not re-price products that have already been synced. Run an update or a re-import for the new rule to take effect on existing products.
  • They apply to the product price only, not to shipping, tax or discounts on orders — those are controlled by the Export Order Settings.
