Your products don't all react to price the same way.
- Small cuts move some products a lot
- Deep cuts barely move others
- Change prices product by product, a few at a time
A cost shock is not a catalog rewrite.
When landed cost jumps, don’t bump every Shopify price overnight.
Your free shipping threshold is a price too.
- Put it next to your average order value
- Make sure an order that just clears it still makes money
- Tell shoppers how close they are
"40% off everything" is not a Black Friday plan.
- Start from what your own orders can afford
- Give more (bundles, gifts) instead of charging less
- Settle your everyday price before November, not during
When restock is weeks away, a low price just helps you run out sooner.
- A thin margin on short stock sells you out faster
- Raise a few products first, not the whole store
- Watch real orders and put the old price back if they miss
How to change a price without finding out the hard way:
- Don't show the new price to every shopper on day one
- Pick one product, not the whole catalog
- Watch margin, not just conversion
- Decide the undo rule before you launch
- If it misses, the old price goes back the same day
a $10 bump on a copy of the page is not changing the list price
the 20% off email buried $47 they already had
