Dear Sellers,

Competitive re-pricing is a huge part of online selling and will result in more sales, but it can also drive your prices too low. FillZ can help you reach the best price while maintaining complete control. Reduce the risk of drastic price drops by adding one or more of these protective measures to your pricing strategy:

  • Populate the item cost field and use your cost as your minimum selling value.
  • Set a maximum discount from your original price.
  • Check the competition. Is the lowest price significantly lower than the next lowest or the average price?
  • Consider top sellers. Ignore those with poor ratings.

We can apply all of the above rules and many more with our dynamic re-pricing system. We urge you to contact us for more details!

Happy Selling!

Jessica

Import Reports

FillZ recommends that you always do a test import before doing a real import of your file. This way you can catch mistakes before they affect your inventory.

Referral Program
FillZ rewards clients who refer our business to their friends and associates. Here's how it works:
     1. You spread the word about FillZ.
     2. A new client references your FillZ user name or store name at sign-up. **It is very important for the new seller to use either of these two identifiers.
     3. We credit your account in the amount that the new client pays to FillZ after the first full month of chargeable services.

It's that easy!
