One Time Push Price Via Bulk Upload
Push a specific price to the marketplace once with the One Time Push Price bulk-upload column — then normal repricing resumes. The price must fit within the SKU's Min, Max and MAP, or the whole row fails.
Use the One Time Push Price to push a specific price to the marketplace a single time. On the next update, your normal strategy, competition and rules take over again — nothing stays pinned.
The One Time Push Price lets you set an exact price for one or many SKUs and send it to the marketplace immediately — a one-off, not a permanent override. It's set through a bulk CSV upload using the One Time Push Price column.
How it works
Add a One Time Push Price to a SKU in your upload file.
If it's valid, the price is pushed to the marketplace a single time.
On the next repricing run, your strategy, competition and rules take over again — the pushed price isn't locked in.
Because the pushed price is a one-off, it's perfect for a quick promo price, matching a specific offer, or nudging a listing — without changing your ongoing strategy.
The one rule: it must fit your Min, Max & MAP
Flashpricer always respects the Min, Max and MAP set on the SKU. A pushed price is accepted only if it lands inside those bounds:
- ·MAP acts as a floor. The lowest allowed price is the higher of your Min and your MAP — a push below MAP is rejected.
- ·Shipping counts. The check compares your push price plus the item's shipping price against the bounds, so a price that looks in-range on its own can still be rejected once shipping is added.
Here's how a few pushes resolve against those same bounds:
| Min | MAP | Max | Push price | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $12.00 | $20.00 | $15.00 | ✓ Accepted |
| $10.00 | $12.00 | $20.00 | $9.00 | ✗ Rejected Price must be at least 12.00 (MAP) |
| $10.00 | — | $20.00 | $22.00 | ✗ Rejected Price must be at most 20.00 |
A rejected push fails the whole row. If the push price is out of bounds, that row isn't processed at all — any other changes in the same row (Min, Max, Cost…) are dropped too. The row appears in the upload's error report with status invalid-input and the reason above. Fix the price and re-upload.
Set it via bulk upload
In your upload file, include a One Time Push Price column with the price for each SKU (alongside the required Sku and Sales Channel ID).
Make sure each push price sits within that SKU's current Min, Max and MAP (remember shipping is added).
Upload the file, confirm the column mapping, and apply. See Bulk updates via CSV for the full upload flow.
A minimal file looks like this — only the push column is new:
| Sku | Sales Channel ID | Min Price | Max Price | One Time Push Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKU-1 | 123456 | 10.00 | 20.00 | 15.00 |
| SKU-2 | 123456 | 8.99 |
For a B2C push, the price is checked against the Min/Max/MAP already on the SKU — not any new Min/Max in the same file. If you need to push a price outside its current bounds, update the Min/Max first (an earlier upload), then push. (The Amazon Business push below works the other way — it uses the new B2B bounds from the same file.)
Amazon Business (B2B) one-time push
For B2B listings, use the One Time Push Business Price column. It works the same way, with two differences: it's validated against your B2B Min / Max (and it reads the new B2B bounds if you set them in the same file), and there's no MAP check.
Good to know
- ·It only reprices if the price changes. If your push price equals the current price (to the cent), nothing happens — the row is logged as
No changes were detected. - ·Blank vs 0. Leave the cell blank to skip the push for that SKU. A value of
0(or negative) is invalid and fails the row. - ·Nothing gets pinned. A successful push sends the price once and hands off to normal repricing — your strategy resumes on the next run.
- ·Per-row results. Successes and failures land in the downloadable error report (statuses like
price-push-success,invalid-input,no-changes).
