How to implement dynamic pricing in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up a Database Collection for Product Pricing

Alright, first things first. Let's create a new collection in Adalo's database to keep track of your product pricing details. You can call it something straightforward like "Product Pricing". In this collection, you'll want to add fields for:

  • Product ID
  • Base Price
  • Dynamic Price
  • Pricing Rules (optional, depending on your logic)

Step 2: Define Pricing Rules and Conditions

Next up, let's figure out the conditions that will make your prices change. This could be influenced by:

  • Time of day
  • Demand levels
  • User behavior or profiling
  • Inventory levels

Make sure to add the necessary fields in your "Product Pricing" collection to cover these conditions.

Step 3: Create a Screen to Display Products with Dynamic Pricing

Now, let's set up a new screen in your Adalo app where your products will be shown. This screen should pull data from the "Product Pricing" collection. Use a list component to display products along with their dynamic pricing.

Step 4: Implement Logic to Calculate Dynamic Pricing

Time to get into the nitty-gritty. Using Adalo's custom actions or external tools like Integromat/Make or Zapier, set up the business logic to calculate dynamic pricing based on the rules you've defined. For example:

  • Discounts for certain hours of the day
  • Price increases due to high demand

Update the "Dynamic Price" field in the "Product Pricing" collection accordingly.

Step 5: Connect Actions to Display and Update Prices

Make sure that the product listing screen in your app shows the dynamic prices correctly. Whenever a user views the product list, fetch real-time dynamic pricing from the database.

Step 6: Testing and Validating

Before you go live, thoroughly test the dynamic pricing mechanism to ensure prices update correctly based on the rules and conditions you've set. Use different scenarios to validate the logic and display of updated prices.

Step 7: Deploy to Production

Once everything's tested, deploy the updated app to your users. Keep an eye on user interaction to make sure the dynamic pricing model is working as intended, and tweak pricing rules if needed.
