How to Reflect the Same Product Price on Shopify and OnBuy

We understand the importance of maintaining consistent and accurate pricing across multiple platforms, especially when you're selling your products on both Shopify and OnBuy. This article will guide you through the process of setting up your pricing in such a way that the prices displayed on both platforms are identical.

The Role of Conversion Rates in Onboarding and Pricing

During the onboarding process and while configuring your apps, it is crucial to set the conversion rate correctly to reflect the prices of your choice on OnBuy. OnBuy, being a UK-based marketplace, uses Sterling Pounds (GBP) as its default currency. This means that product prices will be displayed in GBP, even if your primary store is in USD.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you set the conversion rate to ensure price consistency:

Go to Setting > API Settings in the OnBuy app. Set the conversion rate to 1 USD 1 GBP 0.72. This reflects the current exchange rate and ensures that prices are converted accurately for a UK audience. Save the settings. Import your products into the OnBuy app with the specified conversion rate.

Adjusting Conversion Rate to Match Shopify Prices

However, if you want to ensure that the prices displayed on your OnBuy shop are exactly the same as those in your Shopify store, you need to adjust the conversion rate in a specific way:

Set the conversion rate to 1 USD 1. This will ensure that the prices are identical to those set in your Shopify store, provided the prices in Shopify are already in USD.

For example, if the product price on your Shopify store is $100, setting the conversion rate to 1 USD 1 will automatically display the same price on your OnBuy shop as well.

Tips for Maintaining Price Consistency

Here are some additional tips to help you maintain consistent pricing on both platforms:

Regularly check prices: Make it a habit to regularly check and compare prices on both platforms to ensure they are aligned. Use automated pricing tools: Consider using tools that can automatically update prices across multiple platforms, thus reducing the risk of human error. Export and import data: Export price data from your Shopify store and import it into OnBuy to ensure consistency. Communication with customers: Be clear with your customers about the specific prices offered on each platform to avoid confusion.

Conclusion

Maintaining consistent and accurate product pricing is key to building trust with your customers and maximizing your sales opportunities. By setting up the correct conversion rate in the OnBuy app, you can ensure that the prices on your OnBuy shop match those in your Shopify store. This article has provided you with a step-by-step guide to achieve this seamless price consistency. If you follow these steps, you should have no issues reflecting the same product price across both platforms.
