A pricing rule tells TCG STATS how to calculate a price. Rules can target specific marketplaces, products or inventory groups.

## Plan the rule

Decide:

- which cards the rule should cover;
- which market price or source to use;
- whether to add or subtract a percentage or fixed amount;
- the lowest price you will accept;
- whether fees should affect the result.

## Create a rule

1. Open **Settings → Pricing**.
2. Select **Create pricing rule**.
3. Give it a clear name.
4. Choose the cards or listings it applies to.
5. Choose the pricing source and calculation.
6. Add a minimum price.
7. Preview the result.
8. Save the rule.

## Name rules clearly

Useful names describe the target and calculation:

- Pokémon singles — Cardmarket trend
- eBay graded — market plus fees
- Bulk cards — minimum €0.25

Avoid names such as `Rule 1`.

## Rule order matters

When several rules can match the same card, TCG STATS uses their order to decide which rule applies. Put specific rules before broad fallback rules.

## Preview before applying

Test low-value, mid-value and expensive cards. Check cards with different conditions and languages. A rule that works for a €1 card may be unsuitable for a €500 card.
