Running a price update on demand

Spark Shipping checks for pricing updates and runs price recalculation evaluations every 2 hours automatically. However, if you ever need to run one on demand, follow this simple hack.

 

  • Click on Automation from the top menu
  • Click on Pricing
  • Make a change to something like threshold (example: from 20% to 19% etc.), you can always change it back to the previous value; we call this a "dummy change"
  • Click the Update Price Settings button
  • Your price update job has started in the background and you should see updates soon

 

Why would you want to do this?

 

  • If you made some price settings changes and wanted to see them ASAP 
  • If you wanted to change your pending price updates threshold and have those pending price update values recalculated so they could be cleared 
  • If you made any price related changes in Spark and wanted to apply them quickly 

🎥 Watch the video for a quick demo on how to do this.
