Detailed explanation of Lazada store pricing and operation strategy
The Lazada platform sells a variety of products globally, and even the same product may have price differences on different sites. This article will integrate the content of multiple articles to discuss in detail Lazada’s product pricing methods in Indonesia and the problems that Lazada may encounter in the early stage of store operation.
1. Lazada Indonesia site pricing rules
1. Original price and promotional price
Lazada’s prices are expressed in the local currencies of each country, and sellers need to pay attention to currency conversion. The price at the Indonesian site must be in thousands of Indonesian rupiahs. For example, 111,000 and 39,000 are legal prices, but 111,999 and 38,738 are not accepted. The original price must be filled in. It is recommended to fill in the promotional price to increase the click rate and conversion rate. If a promotional price is set, the promotion start and end dates need to be specified; if no promotional price is set, the relevant fields should be left blank.
2. Inventory management
Sellers must accurately fill in the reserved inventory quantity to prevent order cancellation due to insufficient inventory. Responsibility for order cancellation rests with the seller.
