Automatic price increase on 1 category every time a new price is updated

[LouiseH]

We run a online market store with deferent vendors. One off my vendors prices needs be increased by 20% automatically every time the vendor updates the price on their side.

Is it possible to insert a code on my Shopify store to increase the price of a certain category by 20% every time the price update

Yes, this is totally possible and depends on how the vendor updates their prices.

If you're importing their products using a product feed, an app, or the Shopify API, you can build a script or automation that does the following:

Identify the vendor or product category using tags, vendor name, or a custom collection

Apply a 20% markup to the price during the import or update process

Save the updated price back into Shopify

Let me know how the vendor's updates are currently being handled and I can give you a more tailored solution.
