Incorrect price-setting not only affects the competitiveness of your products, but can also lead to the blocking of your products or even the entire account. Here you will find the recommendations that will help you avoid this.

Specify product price and shipping price without VAT

Joom adds the VAT amount to the total order price automatically.

Do not include overseas offline shipping costs (default shipping price) in the product price

If you include the overseas shipping costs in your product's price, the final price for the customers whose countries are covered by Joom Logistics will appear two or three times higher. So, they will need to pay twice for the logistics, which makes your products less attractive. It means that your conversion rate and purchase rate will be much lower. 

Set the accurate weight of your products

Shipping costs for customers from countries Joom Logistics covers are calculated to the product's weight and added to the final price. 

Always indicate the actual weight, which includes its packaging. The difference between the shipping weight given by the merchant and the factual shipping weight of the package should not be more than 10% or 5 g.

Note: Inaccurate shipping weight may lead to additional logistics costs and extension in the delivery period, and in some cases, failure of delivery. All this will have a negative impact on a merchant's store performance metrics. Please refer to Shipping Weight Requirements for more details.

Avoid overpricing

Overpricing means that the price of your product is unreasonably high for no apparent reason. 

Negative impacts of overpricing:

• Lowers the purchase rate
• Damages the image of your store, account, and as a result, of the whole marketplace
• Joom has a right to block products with unreasonably high prices, so it can lead to product and account suspension

FAQ

Q: What if I include the shipping cost in the product price? 

A: The final price for customers in JL-supported countries will include both merchant shipping price, JL shipping price calculated on the weight, and product price. Customers will need to pay two times for the shipping.

Q: What if I set the product's weight higher than real? 

A: Your product will have a higher total price because the JL shipping cost is calculated based on the weight. It makes your product too expensive and unattractive for the customers.

Q: What if I set the product's weight lower than real? 

A: Your product and account may get blocked by Joom.
