Assigning Strategies to Listings

Why assign strategies to listings?

Every listing gets a strategy assigned automatically when it syncs into Repricing.app (either the default strategy for the region, or one that was already set). But you'll often want to assign different strategies to different products. For example, aggressive pricing for commodity items where the Buy Box rotates quickly, and conservative pricing for private-label products where you have less competition.

How to assign a strategy

There are four ways to change the strategy assigned to your listings:

From the Listings table (inline)

1. Go to Listings in the sidebar.
2. In the table, locate the Strategy column. Each row displays the name of the currently assigned strategy (or "—" if none is set).
3. Click directly on the strategy name in the row you want to change. The cell enters edit mode and a dropdown appears with all available strategies for that listing's channel and region.
4. Select the strategy you want from the dropdown. The change saves automatically.

This is the quickest way to change a single listing's strategy without leaving the table. Use the search bar or column filters to find specific listings first.

From the Listings page (bulk)

1. Go to Listings in the sidebar.
2. Select the listings you want by checking the boxes on the left side of each row.
3. The bulk actions toolbar appears at the top of the grid.
4. Click Assign Strategy in the toolbar. A dropdown menu opens showing your strategies organized by account and region. If you have many strategies, a search field appears at the top to filter by name.
5. Select the strategy you want. The selected listings update immediately. If any selected listings belong to a different account or region than the chosen strategy, those listings are skipped automatically.

This is the fastest way to reassign strategies in bulk. Combine it with filters to target specific groups of listings. For example, filter by a particular strategy to find all listings using it, select them all, and switch to a new one.

From the listing detail page (individual)

1. Click on any listing row to open the listing detail page.
2. In the Pricing tab (the default tab), find the Strategy section at the top of the left column.
3. Click on the dropdown to see all strategies available for the listing's region.
4. Choose the strategy you want to assign.

Best for one-off changes when you're already reviewing a specific listing's details.

Via Import module (large catalogs)

If you have hundreds or thousands of listings, manual assignment isn't practical. Use the Import module to upload a CSV or Excel file that includes a column with the strategy name you want to assign. Common column names like "strategy", "strategy_name", or "rule_name" are detected automatically during the mapping step. The system matches each row to the correct listing by its SKU and assigns the strategy by name, validating that it exists and belongs to the listing's region.

Changing a strategy assignment

You can reassign a listing to a different strategy at any time using any of the methods above. The new strategy takes effect on the next repricing cycle. Each price change recorded in Pricing Activity shows which strategy was applied, so you can see the impact of switching strategies over time.
