What KeenEdge does, in order: how you set it up once, how each repricing run decides a price, how safeguards are enforced, and how every decision is recorded. The same steps run in the sandbox with simulated data.
Each step gives KeenEdge one thing it needs to price a product: access, the catalog, costs, rules, and your permission to execute. Nothing changes on Amazon until step five.
Authorize Selling Partner API access in your own Amazon account, then give KeenEdge the credentials that result. KeenEdge uses the connection to read your listings, current prices, competing offers, and fee estimates. It never asks for your Seller Central password.
KeenEdge pulls your listings from Amazon with their current price, fulfillment channel, and status. You switch each product on or off for management.
Only managed products are evaluated in a run. Unmanaged and inactive listings are left alone.
Enter a landed cost per product, or upload a CSV. KeenEdge adds the Amazon fee estimates it reads for that listing and your minimum margin, and calculates the minimum profitable price.
A product with no cost on file has no floor, so KeenEdge holds it and makes no recommendation until a cost is added.
Pick a strategy that tells KeenEdge what price to aim for, then set the boundaries that any aimed-for price must pass. Rules can be set for the whole catalog and overridden per product.
Review the setup and pick one of two ways to finish. Either way, KeenEdge begins running and recording decisions. The difference is whether step 5 of each run, execution, is switched on.
Starting paused lets you watch real recommendations against your real catalog before any price is sent. You turn execution on later from your pricing controls.
Once set up, KeenEdge evaluates each managed product as marketplace information comes in. Every evaluation follows the same five steps, and every evaluation produces a record, whether or not the price changes.
Step 4Recorded: target $17.99 failed the floor check ($17.99 < $18.40). Recommendation $18.40, held at floor.
Step 5Executed: $18.99 → $18.40 sent to Amazon, since execution is on and the move is within the 5% limit.
Step 4Recorded: target $20.95 is above the floor and inside the dashed 5% range for this run. Recommendation $20.95.
Step 5Executed: $21.50 → $20.95 sent to Amazon and confirmed.
The strategy target from step 2 is checked against your rules in a fixed order. Each check either passes the price through, moves it to the nearest allowed value, or holds it. The result and the check that applied are written to the record.
Is the target at or above the minimum profitable price? If not, the recommendation becomes the floor and is marked Held at floor.
Is the target inside any explicit minimum and maximum you set for the product? A target outside is clamped to the nearest boundary.
Is the move from the current price within the per-run limit? A larger move is capped at the limit; the remaining distance can be covered in later runs.
Before step 5, KeenEdge checks whether the SKU is frozen or live repricing is paused. If either is true the recommendation is recorded but not sent.
Overrides everything above. Halts all execution immediately; prices stay where they are until you review and resume.
Stops all live repricing activity immediately. Prices stay where they are until you review and resume.
Stop all repricingEach run writes one decision record per SKU. If execution is on, a second record is written when Amazon confirms the update. You can open any record, read it top to bottom, and replay it under different rules.
Replay takes the inputs stored in step 1 of this record and runs steps 2–4 again with a rule you choose. Nothing is sent to Amazon.
Under a margin-first rule, step 2 targets $18.11 and step 3 passes it, so the replayed recommendation sits above the lowest offer with no floor hold.
Runs continue on their own. The overview shows the latest run's counts, the most recent decision records, and the short list of products that need a decision from you.
Run the same process in the sandbox with simulated data, or connect your Amazon account and finish setup with execution paused.
