How do I point out my own shop?

Your own shop is a shop in your Sources list with one switch turned on: my shop. priceq then reads your price there the same way it reads a competitor's, and compares the two.

Who needs this

Only customers who answered Webshop in the first-login questions get this step in the checklist, as Point out your own shop. For a webshop, the dashboard keeps showing the checklist until it is done.

A brand or distributor sells through other shops and has no own shop. It never gets this step, and its dashboard does not wait for it.

How to set it

1. Go to Sources and stay on the Retailers tab.
2. If your shop is not in the list yet, click Add retailer and add it like any other shop. See adding a retailer.
3. Click your shop's name to open its details.
4. Turn on the my shop switch.

You see Own store set, and the list marks the shop with my store. The checklist step ticks itself off.

Good to know

• There is one own shop per account. Turning the switch on for another shop makes that one yours, and the previous one becomes a competitor again.
• Your own shop does not count toward the number of competitor shops your plan allows. While you add it, though, it counts like any shop until you switch my shop on. If your plan is already full, adding it is refused with a message such as Your plan allows 3 competitor shops. Contact us to raise this. In that case, open one competitor and click Pause source, add and mark your own shop, then click Resume source on the competitor.
• Products already linked to that shop keep their links. Nothing needs to be redone.

What changes

Your own price becomes the anchor. In the Overview matrix and on the dashboard, competitor prices are compared with yours, and priceq can warn you when a competitor has stock while you do not. Your own shop's price is read in the same price rounds as everyone else's.
