Shopify Settings
- Which product details do you want to keep synchronized with Prisync?
- Do you want to get your Product list in sync with Shopify?
- Do you want to add archived and draft products to Prisync?
By selecting "Yes," you will allow the Prisync app to include archived or draft products.

Do you want your prices to be updated instantly with the calculated SmartPrice by Prisync Repricing Engine?
In this section, if you choose the "Yes" option, you'll have 2 more choices:
If you chose the "Do not change CaP" option, Prisync will update your Sales Price and it will not change the visibility of your prices in your shop. Also, with this option, you may choose your Compare-at-Price as Max Level. It will be unlock as an option within the Dynamic Pricing menu.
However, if you chose the "Set the previous price as the new CaP" option, the Prisync engine will update your price & Compare-at-price dynamically based on Dynamic Pricing Rule. It will cross the original price if it is higher than SmartPrice. This way you will be able to show your customers the new price and original price comparison.
Also, if you activate repricing, Prisync will ask if you want to reprice products with variants independently or not. You can reprice them according to minimum variant smartprice or maximum variant smartprice based or on your choice:

How Dynamic Pricing & Repricing Works in the Prisync Shopify App
Dynamic pricing and repricing in the Prisync Shopify app help you stay competitive and maximize margins by continuously adjusting your product prices based on your predefined SmartPrice (SP) rules and competitor data. This guide explains how SP is calculated, when repricing occurs, and how to interpret the visual indicators in your Shopify panel.
How Dynamic Pricing & Repricing Work
SmartPrice (SP):
Your SP is calculated based on the dynamic pricing rules you set. Once your SP is determined, Prisync automatically updates your store prices to reflect the most competitive rates available. The result is a pricing strategy that responds to real-time market conditions, helping you remain profitable and competitive.
Key Features
-
Instant Price Updates (Outside Cycle Times)
When adjustments are made—such as creating or editing rules, adding or excluding competitors, or updating product costs—Prisync instantly recalculates and applies your SP outside scheduled competitor tracking periods (known as cycle times). As a result, your Shopify store’s prices and the corresponding “is_mine” URL price are updated immediately, ensuring your store always reflects the latest pricing logic.
-
Scheduled Cycle Times (Frozen Periods)
To maintain high-quality competitor data, Prisync freezes SP calculations during specific intervals, referred to as cycle times. During these periods:-
Cycle Times:
- 07:00 a.m – 10:00 a.m
- 14:00 p.m – 16:15 p.m
- 22:00 p.m – 00:15 a.m
During these times, SP is not recalculated. Your store prices remain at their previously calculated SP until the cycle concludes. Once it ends, any pending changes are processed, and your store’s prices automatically update.

Cycle Times:
-
Actions Triggering Instant SP Calculation
Outside cycle times, the following actions result in an immediate SP recalculation and price update:- Creating or updating a Dynamic Pricing (DP) rule
- Enabling a previously disabled DP rule
- Adding or excluding competitors in a rule
- Changing product cost or additional cost
- Pausing or removing competitor URLs (depending on your user type)
This ensures that all strategic changes you make are promptly reflected in your store’s pricing.
Visual Indicators & Tooltips
During Cycle Times:
-
Info (i) Icon Tooltip: Hovering over the info (i) icon on a product card during a cycle time reveals the message:
“It’s competitor tracking time. SP will be updated soon. Learn more.
This indicates that competitor data is being gathered and SP updates will resume once the cycle ends.
-
Hourglass Icon: If you make changes to a DP rule during a cycle time, any products affected by that rule and calculated before the cycle started will display an hourglass icon. This means that the price update is on hold and will be applied once the cycle ends.
Outside Cycle Times:
-
Info (i) Icon Tooltip: Hovering over the info (i) icon outside cycle times shows:
“Your prices will be instantly updated with the calculated SmartPrice.”
This reassures you that your updates are applied immediately outside competitor tracking periods.
Note:
All tooltips, icons, and updates are visible only if your Repricing Setting is enabled in the Prisync Shopify panel.
Summary
With dynamic pricing and repricing in Prisync’s Shopify app, your store’s prices adapt in real-time to changes you make, competitor behaviors, and scheduled competitor tracking periods. This balanced approach—instant updates outside cycle times and scheduled freezes for quality data gathering—ensures your pricing strategy remains informed, timely, and consistently competitive.
