Price and Stock Updates - Zephyra Studio

What price and stock updates are and who they're for

Price and stock updates are an operational service that ensures the data in your online store always matches reality. Once you have several hundred or thousand products, manually changing prices for promotions, seasonal discounts, supplier price changes, or stock depletion becomes a large source of error. This service is for merchants selling physical products or running a large catalogue, where even one wrong price can mean lost margin or an unhappy customer.

Unlike a one-time product entry (when a catalogue is first set up on a site), the focus here is regular upkeep. It also suits businesses selling across multiple channels (own site, marketplace, physical shop) that need every channel kept in sync, and owners who don't have time to check stock daily or don't have a system that does it automatically.

Advantages compared to alternatives

Compared to manual updates by whoever's available, an ongoing service removes the risk of a price change being forgotten or applied inconsistently across channels, which directly costs margin or trust with customers who see the wrong price.

Compared to a one-off bulk import with no follow-up, ongoing updates keep the catalogue accurate as conditions change continuously (supplier prices shift, stock depletes, seasonal promotions start and end), rather than accurate only on the day it was last touched.

How we work on price and stock updates

We agree the source of truth for pricing and stock (your supplier feed, a spreadsheet you maintain, or a system you already use) and the frequency updates need to happen at. We then apply changes on that schedule, checking for anomalies (a price that changed by an implausible amount, a product that shows in stock everywhere but is actually depleted) rather than blindly pushing every update through.

Where you sell across multiple channels, we keep them synchronised so a customer never sees a different price or availability depending on where they're looking.

Approximate price

The price depends on catalogue size, update frequency, and how many channels need to stay in sync. Get an exact estimate through our calculator or a short conversation describing your catalogue and current process.
