Auto Pricing Explained

Auto Pricing in Chipply helps you quickly and accurately price your web store products without the need for manual calculations. By automating price markup and decoration costs, you save time, maintain margins, and reduce pricing errors.

Why Use Auto Pricing?

Before Auto Pricing, sales reps had to:

  • Manually list every product

  • Look up each product’s cost

  • Calculate margins (e.g. 66.67%)

  • Add decoration fees (e.g. $5 for screen print, $8 for embroidery)

This process was slow, inconsistent, and often led to skipped steps or pricing mistakes. Auto Pricing solves this by automating everything—freeing up reps to focus on selling, not spreadsheets.


How It Works

Step 1: Add Products to Your Store

  • Select any number of products across vendors (e.g. SanMar, Under Armour, Augusta)

  • Add them directly into your web store through Chipply

Step 2: Apply Global Discounts

  • Rather than manually setting prices, apply a percentage discount off MSRP for each vendor

    • Example:

      • 15% off Under Armour

      • 10% off SanMar

  • The system calculates final sell prices for you, maintaining consistent margins

  • Chipply handles rounding to keep prices clean and professional

Step 3: Add Decoration Charges

  • Set flat rates for decoration once (e.g. $5 for screen print, $8 for embroidery)

  • Apply them by process in your store

  • One-and-done setup—no manual input per item

Common Questions

Q: Does Chipply set the prices for me?

A: No. You’re still in control. Auto Pricing simply applies your pricing logic automatically based on your rules.

Q: Can I still price off cost instead of MSRP?

A: Yes. While Auto Pricing is based on MSRP, we can help you reverse-engineer your current cost-plus model into the same results using discount logic.
