Workflow options for managing pricing in BigCommerce and Marketplace Management
When first integrating BigCommerce, SellerActive Marketplace Management will import your entire catalog and your products will get populated with the current selling price at the time of the initial import. After that, SellerActive will no longer receive price updates from BigCommerce by default (unless a specific setting is enabled, described further below).
You have a couple of options to choose from for pricing:
- Marketplace Management as the source of truth for your pricing
- BigCommerce as the source of truth for your pricing
Marketplace Management as the Source of Truth for Pricing
If you chose to make price changes through the SellerActive app, you will want to enable the "Allow this app to manage and export prices" pricing setting for every integration such as BigCommerce and each connected marketplace. Once that is done only make price changes through the SellerActive Marketplace Management app and SellerActive will update prices on BigCommerce and the connected marketplaces.

BigCommerce as the Source of Truth for Pricing
If you do not want to manage BigCommerce prices inside of SellerActive, you can choose to have your BigCommerce prices continually import into SellerActive to then update the marketplaces by setting up a Price Mirror repricing strategy.
To enable this workflow:
- Turn "Allow this app to manage and export prices" OFF on the BigCommerce integration.
- Turn "Use BigCommerce Product prices as the source of truth" ON, located beneath the "Import Listings" setting.
- For every other connected marketplace, turn ON "Allow this app to manage and export prices"
- Create a price mirror strategy for every marketplace you want to mirror prices from BigCommerce.
- Apply the repricing strategy to every listing for that marketplace (including newly imported listings in the future).
