If you’re one of the 75% of Amazon sellers using repricing software to compete for the Buy Box, you’ve probably focused heavily on that all-important Buy Box win percentage. After all, over 83% of Amazon’s conversions occur using the Buy Box, making it seem like the ultimate success metric.
But here’s the thing: winning the Buy Box doesn’t automatically guarantee profitability or long-term success. Smart sellers know that to truly measure repricing success metrics, you need to look beyond that single number and dive deep into the data that tells the complete story of your repricing performance.
Why Buy Box Percentage Isn’t Enough
While Buy Box percentage remains important, it’s just one piece of a much larger puzzle. You could be winning the Buy Box 90% of the time, but still losing money if your prices are too low or missing out on higher profits if you’re underpricing products with strong seller metrics.
The most successful Amazon sellers understand that effective repricing is about finding the sweet spot between competitiveness and profitability. That’s where comprehensive repricing analytics come into play.
Essential Amazon Repricing KPIs to Track
Average Selling Price (ASP) Trends
Your Average Selling Price tells you whether your repricing strategy is driving prices up or down over time. Monitor ASP changes across different time periods to understand:
- Whether seasonal trends are affecting your pricing
- If competitive pressure is forcing prices down
- Whether your repricing rules are maintaining healthy price levels
Track ASP by product category, individual SKUs, and overall portfolio to identify which products might need rule adjustments.
Profit Margin Per SKU
This metric is crucial for understanding the real impact of your repricing decisions. While winning the Buy Box at $15 might feel good, it’s not helpful if your break-even price is $16.
Monitor profit margins to ensure your repricing strategy maintains profitability while staying competitive. Look for:
- SKUs where margins are consistently declining
- Products where you can afford to raise prices slightly
- Items where current margins support more aggressive pricing
Sales Velocity Changes
Sales velocity measures how quickly your products are selling and directly correlates with repricing effectiveness. When you optimize pricing correctly, you should see improvements in:
- Units sold per day
- Time to sell through inventory
- Revenue per period
Compare sales velocity before and after implementing repricing rules to quantify the impact of your strategy.
Price Adjustment Frequency
How often your repricing tool makes changes can indicate market competitiveness and rule effectiveness. Track:
- Average number of price changes per SKU per day
- Time between adjustments
- Correlation between adjustment frequency and sales performance
High-frequency adjustments might indicate overly aggressive rules or highly competitive markets, while infrequent changes could suggest opportunities to be more responsive.
Where to Find These Metrics in Your Repricing Platform
Most modern repricing platforms, including Repricer’s Analytics & Reporting tools, provide comprehensive dashboards where you can access these metrics. Look for:
Performance Dashboards: Real-time views of Buy Box wins, price changes, and sales performance

SKU-Level Analytics: Detailed breakdowns for individual products
Profit Analysis Tools: Calculations that factor in all costs to show true profitability
The Insights section typically offers deeper analysis, helping you understand not just what’s happening, but why it’s happening.
