Mana Pool has a tool to apply fixed $ modifiers to products. You can apply them to singles and/or sealed products, and you can break these modifiers into price bands. They can be positive or negative, depending on your use case.

To use these modifiers, go to your Inventory dashboard, and click Pricing modifiers, which will take you here.

Use cases

Here are some ways you might use fixed $ modifiers.

Bake in shipping on sealed products

You may wish to “bake in” shipping prices on sealed products, since orders of $45+ will have free shipping. One approach you might take is:

• Set a price band of $100-$200, and set a modifier. This will typically modify products such as booster boxes. You could consider also keeping the range uncapped and applying the modifier to all products $100+.
• Set a price band of $10.01-$100, and set a modifier (say $4.99 or $9.99 depending on how you ship products) This will typically modify products such as commander decks.
• Set a sealed products price band of $0-$10, and set a modifier (say $1.00) that will increment all of your prices in this range. This will typically affect single booster packs. If the buyer doesn’t spend $45, they will also be charged $9.99 shipping, but if they hit the threshold, this modifier will cover your costs.

Modify prices (up or down) from your 3rd party inventory system

If you sync your inventory from a 3rd party system (such as Crystal Commerce, CCGSeller, Shopify, or SortSwift), use these modifiers to make Mana Pool specific adjustments to your prices.

Depending on how you price your inventory, you can set either positive or negative modifiers to nudge your prices to where you want them on Mana Pool. For example, if your inventory is usually priced for eBay/TCGPlayer, you may wish to set a negative modifier to account for Mana Pool’s lower fees or competitive landscape.

Use price modifiers in conjunction with the Bulk Price Update tool

Many sellers who manage their inventory natively in Mana Pool use the Bulk Price Update tool to mark their cards to market or market low. 

Within the Bulk Price Update Tool, you can set an offset from market or market low, but that offset is uniform across all price ranges. So, if you prefer, you could use the Bulk Price Updater to mark your cards to exactly market low, but then have these modifiers overlay that to adjust your prices. Maybe you’d prefer, for example, to have your inexpensive cards marked relatively higher or lower than your high end cards. 

Other pricing tools

Use these fixed $ modifier tools in conjunction with other pricing tools on Mana Pool.

• Bulk Price Update Tool - run this to mark your cards to market, market low, with various settings (and the fixed $ modifiers will apply on top of these)
• Quick price edit - use the quick price edit tool to modify one or a few prices (and the fixed $ modifiers will apply on top of these)
• Minimum price floor and percent modifiers - if you use the minimum price floor or percent modifiers, then the fixed $ modifiers will work with these. No matter what your other modifiers are, your minimum price floor will always maintain a minimum price, and the percent modifiers will apply first (then the fixed $ modifiers on top of those).
