Competition price monitoring

The Competition module (currently available for Allegro, eMAG, Amazon, Empik and Ceneo) is a tool that allows you to monitor other sellers’ prices and quickly check the five cheapest offers for a selected product. This enables you to better adjust your prices to market conditions. Below, you will find detailed information on configuring it for monitored marketplaces.

 

Enabling the competition module

To start using the competition module:

  1. Go to Integrations → Marketplace account → Competition.
  2. Enable the competition module to activate price tracking.
  3. After activation, select the products to be monitored. Navigate to Marketplace → Listing management, select the product listings you want to track, then choose Operations Monitoring the competition’s prices and check the Enabled box.
  4. Once tracking is correctly activated, competitor prices will appear next to your prices in the Listing management section.

 

 

By default, prices are checked once a day. You can select up to 100 offers for free within all accounts of a single marketplace connected to the system (in the case of eMAG, Amazon, Empik and Ceneo).  For Allegro, this limit is 1,000.

Competition module settings

Allegro

After enabling the competition module for Allegro, you can configure settings to specify which competitors the system should track and how their offers should be compared.

 

After selecting the Enabled option, you will see additional settings to configure:

  • Followed users – enter the usernames of the sellers whose prices you want to monitor;
  • Ignored users – enter the usernames of sellers whose offers should be excluded from price analysis. Example: If you enter shop123, offers from this seller will be ignored;
  • Ignore my offers – enable this option to exclude your own offers from other Allegro accounts linked to Base;
  • Track the price of the cheapest shipment in competition – enable this option (Yes) to monitor prices including shipping costs. You will see an additional price icon representing the total cost (product + shipping);
  • Condition “New” – choose whether to monitor only products in New condition;
  • Search Type – choose how the system should search for offers:
    • Only by EAN,
    • By EAN or name,
    • Only by name.

 

If you select EAN or product name, the system will first try to match products by EAN. If no EAN is available, it will use the product name for search.

Amazon

After enabling the plugin in the integration settings for your selected Amazon account, you can configure price monitoring options.

  • Ignore my offers – exclude your own listings from other Amazon accounts linked to Base.
  • Comparison mode – choose which offer types to compare prices with:
    • FBA – fulfilled by Amazon;
    • FBM – fulfilled by merchants;
    • FBA and FBM – both types simultaneously.
  • Buy Box (Amazon Featured Offer) – enable this option to adjust your offer prices to compete for the Buy Box.
  • Try to get Buy Box by reducing the price by – specify the amount by which the system should lower your price to increase the chance of winning the Buy Box.

 

If you have Amazon accounts in multiple regions, you need to configure settings separately for each country.

eMAG

For eMAG, the Competition Module offers a simple configuration. After enabling the plugin in the integration settings, the following option is available:

  • Ignored users – enter the usernames of sellers whose offers should be excluded from price analysis.

Empik

The competition module for Empik allows easy configuration. After activation, you can set:

  • Ignored users – add usernames of sellers whose offers you want to exclude from analysis.

Ceneo

The competition module for Ceneo allows you to match offers to products in the Ceneo catalog.

 

 

  • Ignored users – enter store names to be excluded from the analysis.

 

For the plugin to work correctly, you must also enter the usernames of your own accounts.

The compared products on Ceneo

Ceneo does not provide product IDs from its catalog to Base. Therefore, products are matched based on the offer title. If a product is clearly identified, its ID is saved in Base for future price tracking.

 

To improve matching accuracy, you can manually assign a product ID.

  1. Go to Ceneo → Listing management → Offer details (pencil icon).
  2. Navigate to Competition → Settings.
  3. Enter the product page link (e.g., https://www.ceneo.pl/12345678) or the product ID (12345678).
  4. Save the changes to start monitoring.

 

If no product ID is assigned, the system will automatically attempt to match products based on offer titles.

Accelerations

By default, you can check prices once per day for:

  • 100 offers per marketplace (eMAG, Amazon, Empik, Ceneo),
  • 1,000 offers on Allegro.

 

If you need more frequent price monitoring, paid acceleration options are available under Integrations → Accelerations:

  • 4 times a day – up to 1,000 offers per platform,
  • every hour – up to 10,000 offers per platform.

 

 

The given limits apply (unlike, for example, in the case of stock/price synchronization) to all accounts connected to the system within a given marketplace platform.

Price automation (repricing)

The repricing feature automatically adjusts your prices based on competitor data while respecting your predefined conditions, such as minimum and maximum price, price margins, reserves, rules for price differences, etc.

 

Repricing is based on real-time competitor data, allowing for dynamic price management while ensuring your offers remain competitive within your set limits and business goals.

 

A detailed description of the functionality and its settings can be found in our article: Repricing.

 

For free, you can choose up to 100 offers from all accounts connected to the system of a single marketplace platform, which will be adjusted to competitors once a day.
