📊 Understanding Advanced Pricing Rules in DSers
(Tariff Pricing Automation Walkthrough)
Effective Immediately | Applies During Global Tariff Impacts
To ensure consistent and fair pricing for our customers and to support our affiliate and partner community during ongoing global tariff changes, AquaSoul Home Decor has adopted DSers Advanced Pricing Rules. Below is a clear guide on how we calculate final product pricing with transparency and accuracy.
🔍 1. Core Pricing Formulas
Primary Formula (Used when Final Profit is greater than or equal to Minimum Profit):
Price Value =
[(Product Cost + Shipping Cost + Tax) × (1 + Profit %) + Fixed Profit] ÷ (1 - Breakeven %)
Fallback Formula (Used if Final Profit is less than Minimum Profit):
Price Value =
[(Product Cost + Shipping Cost + Tax) + Minimum Profit] ÷ (1 - Breakeven %)
These formulas automatically adjust pricing to ensure profitability while maintaining transparency during tariff fluctuations.
📊 2. Suggested Pricing Tier Template
Product Cost Range (USD)Profit %Fixed Profit ($)Minimum Profit ($)
$0 – $1050%1.002.00
$10 – $3045%2.004.00
$30 – $6040%3.006.00
$60 – $10035%4.008.00
$100+30%5.0010.00
This tiered strategy ensures that your pricing adapts to increasing product costs while keeping profits and customer satisfaction in balance.
⚙️ 3. Key Input Definitions for DSers
-
Shipping Cost: Define whether you are using fixed-rate or live/dynamic shipping from AliExpress or other suppliers.
-
Tax: Optional but encouraged—especially for regions with VAT or sales tax.
-
Breakeven %: Include this to account for platform fees, payment processing costs, or affiliate commissions. Common range: 5%–20%.
📌 TIP: Set regional shipping zones in DSers or AliExpress to better reflect accurate delivery costs and timing.
✅ 4. How to Implement These Rules in DSers
-
Go to: DSers > Settings > Pricing Rule
-
Select: Advanced Pricing Rule
-
Enter your product tiers from the table above
-
For each tier, add:
-
Profit %
-
Fixed Profit
-
Minimum Profit
-
-
Set global values (applies across tiers):
-
Shipping Cost
-
Tax (if applicable)
-
Breakeven %
-
💡 DSers automatically switches to the fallback formula when the profit margin falls below your defined minimum. This protects your business and customers from unexpected losses.
🔍 Example: Price Calculation
Product Tier: $10–$30
-
Product Cost: $20
-
Shipping: $5
-
Tax: $0
-
Profit %: 45%
-
Fixed Profit: $2.00
-
Minimum Profit: $4.00
-
Breakeven: 15%
Step 1:
Total Cost = $20 + $5 + $0 = $25
Step 2:
Final Profit = $25 × 0.45 + $2 = $13.25
(Since $13.25 > $4.00, use the primary formula)
Price Value =
[(25 × 1.45) + 2] ÷ (1 - 0.15)
= (36.25 + 2) ÷ 0.85
= $38.25 ÷ 0.85
= $45.00
🛡️ Why This Matters
This pricing update allows AquaSoul Home Decor to:
-
Shield customers from unpredictable cost spikes
-
Maintain consistent earnings for affiliates & collaborators
-
Support fair supplier payments globally
-
Strengthen international supply chain automation & transparency

🧾 AquaSoul Home Decor — Tariff FAQ
Updated: May 2025
Effective: Immediately | Valid Until: Global Tariff Resolutions Progress
💬 What Are Tariffs?
Tariffs are government-imposed taxes on imports or exports between countries. In eCommerce, this can affect product prices, shipping times, and availability—especially for goods shipped internationally.
🌍 Why Do Tariffs Affect AquaSoul Home Decor?
We source products from artisans, manufacturers, and suppliers across the globe. Tariffs imposed by the U.S. or other countries on these goods may increase the total cost of importing those items—especially when shipped via platforms like AliExpress.
🧾 Will My Prices Go Up Because of Tariffs?
Possibly, but we’re working hard to minimize the impact.
We’ve implemented advanced pricing rules through our dropshipping partner DSers, which help us:
-
Offer more transparent and fair pricing
-
Prevent sudden product shortages
-
Maintain sustainable profits for our community and creators
🔧 What Is AquaSoul Doing About Tariff-Related Costs?
We’ve taken several proactive steps:
-
Upgraded DSers Automation: Pricing is now updated in real time to reflect true costs (product + shipping + tax + margin + breakeven).
-
Transparent Labels: You’ll see more consistent pricing across products—even if that means a small increase.
-
Fair Trade Commitment: We continue to support fair wages and reliable supply chains rather than shifting the burden to you.
🤝 How Does This Affect Affiliates and Collaborators?
For Affiliates:
-
Commission rates may vary slightly based on the final sale price
-
New marketing assets and price update guidelines are available
-
Use transparent pricing to build trust and highlight fair trade values
For Collaborators:
-
Improved visibility into breakeven and profit margins
-
Clearer expectations for inventory costs and logistics
-
Opportunity to co-create tariff-resilient product bundles
💳 What About Free or Paid Members?
Free Members:
-
Will still see reliable listings with up-to-date pricing and shipping times
-
May notice varying delivery speeds depending on tariff zones
Paid Members:
-
Gain access to custom pricing automation tools
-
Can create profitable bundles and set tiered rules to maintain revenue
-
Enjoy early alerts on tariff-related shifts and promotions
📦 Will Shipping Be Delayed?
In some cases, yes—especially for international orders. Customs processing and tariff enforcement can lead to longer delivery times. We’re tracking this daily to keep you informed.
🔍 Where Can I See If a Product Is Affected?
Products affected by tariffs or shipping changes will have clear notes in their descriptions or labels (e.g., “Tariff-Inclusive Pricing” or “Longer Customs Processing”).
You can also reach out via [Customer Support Link] if you need help before ordering.
✊ Why Not Just Eat the Cost?
We wish we could—but here’s the truth:
-
Eating the full cost could harm our ability to pay suppliers fair wages
-
It could force us to compromise on eco-conscious or handcrafted quality
-
It would weaken our mission of building a resilient community-first marketplace
Instead, we believe in honest pricing, transparent policies, and shared solutions.
