The Amazon Pricing Model

Amazon’s pricing model is built on a robust foundation of dynamic pricing – made to offer the best value to shoppers on the world wide web. This customer-centric approach is rooted in the deep-seated philosophy of the company to make its platform accessible and feasible to all users across all countries. The uniqueness of Amazon’s pricing strategy comes from price fluctuations wherein the product’s price can vary throughout the day. According to a study by Minderest, Amazon may alter product prices by up to 20% when its competitors offer promotions or discounts1. A user shopping in the morning might find a better deal than another user shopping at night.
With the addition of multiple sellers for each product category, Amazon can offer the lowest product price based on seller preference.
