In the fast-paced world of Indian e-commerce , platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and Meesho change product prices multiple times a day to stay competitive, drive conversions, and react to market trends. For brands and sellers, staying ahead in this dynamic pricing environment is a challenge — one that iWeb Data Scraping solves with precision.
This blog delves deep into how hourly pricing insights can transform pricing decisions, optimize promotions, and maximize profitability across leading e-commerce platforms.
1. Dynamic Pricing Strategy
Online platforms frequently adjust prices based on:
Without real-time data, businesses risk being undercut or missing out on trending SKUs.
2. Sale Period Volatility
During flash sales, festive discounts, or platform-specific events (like Myntra EORS or Flipkart Big Billion Days), price changes occur every hour—or even every few minutes.
3. Buy Box Wars (Amazon & Flipkart)
Winning the Buy Box often comes down to having the most competitive price, tracked and adjusted hourly. Brands without pricing visibility risk losing valuable conversions.
