# Automate Pricing

The Automate Pricing feature allows sellers to automatically adjust their offer prices based on market conditions and competitor pricing. This feature is available through three main API endpoints:   [Create a new offer](/driffle-seller-api-legacy/reference/api-reference/offers-auction/create-a-new-offer.md),  [Update Offer](/driffle-seller-api-legacy/reference/api-reference/offers-auction/update-offer.md) and [Update Offer Price](/driffle-seller-api-legacy/reference/api-reference/offers-auction/update-offer-price.md).

### Feature Description <a href="#feature-description" id="feature-description"></a>

Automate Pricing enables sellers to:

* Set price limits (lower and upper bounds)
* Define price change factors and intervals
* Automatically adjust prices based on market conditions
* Enable/disable automation for individual offers

#### How This Feature Works&#x20;

Let’s understand how **Automate Pricing** works with a simple example:

**Example Scenario:**\
You lists a product priced at **€10.00** and wants the system to adjust the price automatically based on competitors.

**Configuration:**

```json
{
  "lowerPriceLimit": 8.00,
  "upperPriceLimit": 12.00,
  "priceChangeFactor": 0.02,
  "priceChangeInterval": 300,
  "automatePriceStatus": "enable"
}
```

**Explanation:**

* Your price will **never go below €8.00** or **above €12.00**.
* Every **5 minutes (300 seconds)**, the system checks **current market prices** for the same product.
* **If competitors drop their prices**, the system reduces your price by **€0.02** until either:
  * It becomes the **lowest among all active offers**, or&#x20;
  * It reaches your **lower price limit**, **ensuring you maximize your profit**.
* **If competitors increase their prices**, the system raises your price by **€0.02**&#x20;
  * **Keep your offer as the lowest in the market** to remain competitive.
  * **Increase your price toward your upper limit**, **maximizing your profit**.
* The automation continues automatically as long as `"automatePriceStatus": "enable"`.
* You can **stop price automation anytime** by setting `"automatePriceStatus": "disable"`.
