What sellers should know.
This page is written for ecommerce teams that need clear decisions, not surface-level definitions.
Marketplace prices also need channel conflict checks so D2C, B2B and retail pricing do not damage each other.
Deal pricing should be approved only after checking unit contribution and stock availability.
Apex uses price ladders to separate everyday price, event price, bundle price and bulk price.
