Conversion vs Profit Playground

Understanding the Tradeoff

E-commerce pricing is a balancing act. Higher discounts attract more customers (better conversion), but reduce your profit margin per sale. Lower discounts mean higher margins, but fewer customers buy. The goal is to find the sweet spot that maximizes your total profit.
