Prepare a batch of rule-based price changes
A merchant needs consistent price changes without violating margin targets or creating unintended rounding differences. In this case, the immediate task is to prepare a batch of rule-based price changes. The workflow should produce a pricing change table with margin exceptions, using the merchant's actual records and constraints.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me prepare a batch of rule-based price changes.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [provide current variant prices, cost basis, currency, pricing formula, margin constraints and rounding rule]. Calculate proposed prices, apply the stated rounding order, flag floor violations and show old price, new price and percentage change per variant.
Return a pricing change table with margin exceptions for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.Scenario & problem

FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Should rounding happen before or after the price adjustment?
The chosen order changes results. Define it explicitly and apply it consistently to avoid unexpected price differences.
Why check variant-level costs?
Different sizes or bundles can have different costs. A uniform percentage adjustment does not guarantee a uniform margin.
What information is needed to investigate this use case?
Start with current variant prices, cost basis, currency, pricing formula, margin constraints and rounding rule. These inputs establish the relevant scope and help separate an actual issue from missing information or an unsuitable comparison. Without them, the result should remain a proposed approach rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
