This section describes the ways in which you can troubleshoot some of the common errors you might find when using the Automate Pricing file.
Enter a valid value for all the fields. If you enter an invalid input (for example, an invalid SKU, a character in the min/max field, invalid rule name, or input besides START or STOP in the rule-action field), then the row will not be processed.
We run validations on minimum and maximum price in Automate Pricing. If your minimum or maximum price are outside of the accepted threshold, then the row will not be processed. Learn more about Minimum and Maximum price validation.
The Automate Pricing file supports up to 5,000 rows per upload. If you input more than 5,000 rows to be processed, all rows beyond 5,000 rows will not be processed.
You can now choose to continue repricing or pause repricing after submitting a manual price update. To learn more, refer to Continue or Pause Repricing After Manual Price update.
