4

Item page

Select specific item from item list

Information on the repricer settings, competitors and repricer events. This can be used to understand the buy box status of a product and why and how the repricer updated the price. It also shows the buy box time percentage of the item over the last 7 days.

More information on what these graphs, statistics, filters and events mean can be found in the sections below.

Graphs

Buy box time

This refers to the percentage of time your offer had the buy box on a given day (24 hours). So if your offer had the buy box for 12 hours, the buy box time percentage would be 50%. The graph shows the average buy box time of your products. On the dashboards this graph shows the average. On the item page you can find it per item for the last 7 days.

Products with the buy box

The number of products that had the buy box at least once on each day in the graph.

Buy box time percentage distribution

This graph shows the distribution of buy box time within your products. The x-axis shows the buy box time ranges in steps of 10%. The y-axis shows the number of products that fit within that range. This gives more context to the ‘average buy box time’ graph and shows where there’s room for improvement. Specifically the distribution helps you determine how much of your offer catalog is under-performing. In the screenshot there are for example 591 products with a buy box time percentage between 90 and 100%.

Repricer statistics

We offer the below statistics for the repricer. These can be used to get an overview of the performance of the repricer.

You can find these statistics in the repricer dashboard. There is a section called ‘repricer statistics’ where you can find these statistics for each API with an active repricer. From there you can also find all products included in the repricer (click on 'overview') and the graphs with the history of the statistic.

This table describes which statistics we offer:

Statistic	Meaning
Buy box time	The percentage of time your offer had the buy box on a given day (24 hours). The number shown is the average buy box time of all products.
Products with the buy box	All products that now have the buy box
Products with high buy box potential	By comparing your offers to that of the buy box winner on price, delivery time and rating we determined which products have a higher potential to win the buy box. These factors are known to be important factors the marketplace uses to decide who has the buy box. But, this is not a guarantee that they can win the buy box. For example an offer with the same delivery time, a slightly lower rating and a slightly higher price is considered a 'high buy box potential' product. You can also find these products using the filters (see below).

Product filters

Product filters can be used to find out which products belong to a certain group, for example to find all products that don't have the buy box.

You can find these filters by following these paths.

1

Via the repricer dashboard (if you want to know for one API)

1. In the left navigation bar, go to 'Dashboard' and select 'Dashboard repricer'.

2. In the 'Repricer statistics' section you find the list of all APIs with an active repricer.

3. By using the 'View Items' button, you're taken to the overview of all items in that repricer.

4. You can find the filter in the top right corner.

2

Via the repricer rules (if you want to know for a specific repricer rule)

1. Go to the ‘Reprice rules’ section of the relevant API.

2. Select the relevant repricer rule and go to ‘selected items’.

3. You now see all the products affected by that repricer rule.

4. You can find the filter in the top right corner.

Filter	Meaning
Products with the buy box	All products that now have the buy box
Products without the buy box	All products that now don’t have the buy box
Products that lost the buy box	All products that had a lost buy box event in the past 7 days and don’t have the buy box now
Products that won the buy box	All products that had a won buy box event in the past 7 days and have the buy box now
Products with errors	All products that have an error that causes the repricer not to reprice
Products with high buy box potential	By comparing your offers to that of the buy box winner on price, delivery time and rating we determined which products have a higher potential to win the buy box. These factors are known to be important factors the marketplace uses to decide who has the buy box. But, this is not a guarantee that they can win the buy box. For example an offer with the same delivery time, a slightly lower rating and a slightly higher price is considered a 'high buy box potential' product.
Products without data	All products for which the repricer doesn’t have data. This can be because: - It’s offline or not in the notification we get from Amazon - The ASIN is unknown (Amazon only) - The EAN is unknown (http://bol.com/ only)

Repricer events

An event is something that happened to an item that is being repriced by the repricer. For each product, we show these events in chronological order on the product page. All recent events are also shown in the 'Result' stage of the API. Clicking on an event will show more information about the event, so you can better understand why a certain event happened.

Note that the time of each event corresponds to the time we observed the event in our system. This can be different compared to the time at which the event happened in the marketplace.
