Nine safety rules

Rule 1: A page we couldn't read is never treated as discontinued or out of stock.

Stops a slow or broken supplier site turning your products off.

The supplier's site times out at 2 am. We retry, then report “link broken”. Your listing keeps selling at its current price and stock.

Rule 2: “Removed” or “out of stock” needs the same answer on two separate checks.

Stops one bad reading hiding a product that is still for sale.

A supplier page shows “sold out” for an hour while they restock. The next check says “in stock”, so nothing reaches your inbox.

Rule 3: Automation never lowers a price by default.

Stops your margin quietly shrinking because a supplier ran a sale.

Recovery tracks drop from $44.00 to $38.50 at the supplier. You see the drop and choose: lower to $59.95 or keep $69.95.

Rule 4: Never below your minimum margin.

Stops selling at a loss after a cost or shipping change.

Your minimum margin is 25%. A new cost would leave 18%, so the change is held for you instead of applied.

Rule 5: A change bigger than your limit (default ±30%) is flagged as unusual and can never be pushed automatically.

Stops typos and glitches on the supplier side, like $649.00 becoming $6.49.

A dual battery kit jumps 62%. It is flagged, and you check the supplier page before deciding.

Rule 6: If more than 20% of a supplier's links fail in one check, that supplier's whole check is held and reported.

Stops partial updates from a supplier site that is half down.

150 of 400 links fail. We change nothing for that supplier, tell you once, and retry.

Rule 7: A locked product is never changed.

Stops overwriting prices you set by hand, like a clearance or a bundle deal.

Your snatch strap is locked at $89.95. The supplier raises their price; your price stays $89.95.

Rule 8: Nothing reaches Shopify without your approval, unless you turn on auto-push for that supplier.

Stops surprises. You see every change before your customers do.

Every change waits in your review inbox until you approve, edit or skip it.

Rule 9: Every push is logged and can be undone in one click.

Stops a wrong approval becoming a long night of fixing.

You approve 40 changes and spot one mistake. Undo puts that product back exactly as it was.
