How to Create Repricing Strategies (Walmart)
Build a Walmart repricing strategy in Flashpricer step by step: choose who you compete against (Lowest price, Buybox, WFS, FBM, specific sellers), set rules for every scenario, and define your min/max by ROI, margin or fixed profit.
A repricing strategy tells Flashpricer exactly how to price against your competition on Walmart — who to compete with, how to react in every scenario, and the min/max guardrails that keep every price profitable. Here's how to build one, field by field.
Creating a strategy is a short guided flow. You'll move through four steps, then assign the finished strategy to your listings:
Step 1 — Start a new strategy
Go to Strategies (the Repricing Strategies page) and click New Strategy — the gradient button with a + in the top-right.
Enter a Strategy name, then under Marketplace choose Walmart.
Under Type of selling, pick Resellers or Private Label / Brand Owner, then click Continue with your strategy settings.
Step 2 — Choose who you compete against
Under Competition, pick how Flashpricer targets the field. There are five ways to compete:
| Competition | Competes against… |
|---|---|
| Lowest price | The lowest-priced offer on the listing. |
| Buybox | Whoever currently holds the Buy Box. |
| Lowest WFS | The lowest-priced WFS (Walmart Fulfillment Services) offer. |
| Lowest FBM | The lowest-priced merchant-fulfilled offer. (The app labels the merchant-fulfilled option "Lowest FBM".) |
| Specific Sellers | Only the sellers you choose. |
Then fine-tune the field with the ignore switches — turn on any competitors you don't want to price against:
Competition
The switches adapt to your competition choice — for example, Ignore non-buybox-eligible competitors is hidden when you compete for the Buybox.
Step 3 — Set your main repricing rule
This is how your price reacts to whoever you're competing against. Choose an action:
- ·
match— price exactly at the competitor's price. - ·
add— sit above them by a fixed$or%. - ·
subtract— undercut them by a fixed$or%.
You can override the action per competitor type — when competition is Walmart, when competition is WFS, and when competition is specific seller names — each with the full set: match, add, subtract, set to min, set to max, do not reprice.
What "set to min" and "set to max" really do: they set your selling price to the minimum (or maximum) price from this strategy — not your cost. set to min → price drops to your min; set to max → price rises to your max.
Step 4 — Cover every scenario
Below the main rule, define what happens in each situation. Options appear in lowercase in the app.
When there is no competition — nobody else is on the listing:
- ·
set to min·set to max·do not reprice— hold at your min, your max, or leave the price untouched. (Some competition setups also let youmatch/add/subtractand pick who to compete against.)
When buybox is suppressed (only shown when you compete for the Buybox) — Walmart isn't awarding a Buy Box:
- ·
match·add·subtract·set to min·set to max·go to competitive price·continually decrease until unsuppressed·do not reprice. Withmatch/add/subtractyou also pick who to Compete against:Lowest price,Lowest WFS, orLowest FBM. (The last two modes are available on higher plans.)
When you've acquired the buy box — you're already winning it:
- ·
do not reprice— hold your current price. - ·Don't lower my price — stops downward changes but still lets your price rise toward the next more-expensive competitor. (E.g. you hold the Buy Box at $20 with the next competitor at $25 and a "subtract $0.50" rule → your price rises to $24.50.)
- ·
algorithmically optimize price— gradually nudges your price up to the highest point that still keeps the Buy Box. (Included in the Growth plan and higher.)
When your item is out of stock:
- ·
match·add·subtract·set to min·set to max·do not reprice. If the item is out of stock and has no competition, Flashpricer falls back to your no-competition behavior.
Step 5 — Set your minimum & maximum prices
Your min and max are the guardrails every price stays within. Choose how they're calculated:
| Mode | How min/max are set |
|---|---|
| Manually set min and max prices | You enter each SKU's min and max on the Products page or via a bulk upload. |
| Calculate by Return on investment (ROI) | A target profit as a % of your cost. |
| Calculate by Profit Margin | A target profit as a % of the selling price. |
| Calculate by fixed profit | A flat $ profit per unit. |
Flashpricer shows a live worked example as you set the numbers. Here's ROI with a $20 cost and 15% marketplace fees, min ROI 50% / max ROI 80%:
Minimum price
Maximum price
ROI vs Profit Margin. ROI is profit as a share of your cost ($10 profit on a $20 cost = 50% ROI). Profit margin is profit as a share of the selling price. Same idea, different denominator — pick whichever matches how you think about profitability.
Step 6 — Review & create
Move to the review step and click Create Strategy. The strategy appears on your Strategies page, ready to assign to any listing.
Managing your strategies
Each strategy has an Actions menu (the three dots in the Actions column):
- ·Edit — change any setting.
- ·Duplicate — clone it as a starting point for a variant.
- ·Compare performance — see how it's performing.
- ·Assign as Default for Channel — make it the default new listings use (shown in the Default For Channels column).
- ·Delete — remove it.
Frequently asked
What's the difference between "Lowest price" and "Buybox"?
Lowest price competes against the cheapest offer on the listing, regardless of who holds the Buy Box. Buybox competes against whoever currently owns the Buy Box — useful when winning the Buy Box matters more than being absolute cheapest.What are "Lowest WFS" and "Lowest FBM"?
Lowest WFS competes against the lowest offer fulfilled by Walmart Fulfillment Services; Lowest FBM competes against the lowest merchant-fulfilled offer (the app keeps the "FBM" label for the merchant-fulfilled option on Walmart too).Does "set to min" change my cost?
set to max sets your price to your maximum. Neither changes your cost.Will my price ever go below my minimum?
What does "Algorithmically optimize price" do when I hold the Buy Box?
How do I set a default strategy?
