PriceWaiter — Allow Customers to Set Their Own Price, On Your Terms

Consumers can spend hours online comparing prices visiting different sites trying to locate their desired item at the lowest price. You may not even realize as an online retailer, you might be losing sales to competitors by mere pennies. In retrospect, you are spending a ton of money trying to lure these potential customers so why risk the loss to another retailer?

Pricewaiter is an for BigCommerce merchants that utilizes personalized pricing to help close the deal when it comes to comparison shopping and can generate thousands upon thousands in more revenue.
A consumer will feel better about purchasing a product from you when they get to influence the price they will pay.

Here are a variety of ways to personalize price:

⦁ Make an Offer: This was PriceWaiter’s first product, and remains the most widely used among all of our retailers. The app puts a “Make An Offer” button on the product page of your site, right near the “Buy Now” button. When a shopper clicks “Make An Offer,” they get to enter their preferred price into the PriceWaiter app, which triggers a personal, one-on-one dialogue between you and your customer that is completely private. You can accept or counter their offer immediately based on expected profit margin. Once you both have agreed on the price, PriceWaiter’s engine locks in the agreed price for that transaction, and you complete the sale. Everybody wins. You get the sale, and the customer gets their own price.

 

⦁ Price Drop: Price Drop allows you to notify visitors when the price of an item drops within their desired threshold, and directs them back to the product page to complete the transaction.

 

 

⦁ Volume Discount: Volume Discount is typically used for items where the retailer’s margins are better in higher-volume sales, allowing a discount for customers looking to buy in bulk.

Pricewaiter has a tiered pricing model. The basic “Make An Offer” package is free for Bigcommerce retailers. Customization, automation, and advanced personalization packages carry a fee structure based on a percentage of the incremental transactions that run through the PriceWaiter system.
