Price History Discounts
Price History Discounts lets your showroom automatically show an inferred discount when a vehicle's current price is lower than its previously tracked highest price.
This is useful when you want website pricing lockups to reflect a meaningful price drop even when there is no explicit discount line in the vehicle's current pricing configuration.
Who can enable this
You must be signed in to Dashboard with the showroom:owner role for the showroom.
How to enable it in Dashboard
- Sign in to Dashboard.
- Open the showroom you want to update.
- Go to Settings.
- Find the following fields:
- Enable Price History Discounts
- Price History Minimum Discount
- Price History Maximum Change (%)
- Turn on Enable Price History Discounts.
- Set your thresholds.
- Save your changes.
What each setting does
Enable Price History Discounts
When enabled, Vyro compares a vehicle's current price with its highest tracked historical price and may show a discount based on that difference.
If this setting is off, no discount will be inferred from price history.
Price History Minimum Discount
This sets the smallest price drop that Vyro will treat as a real discount.
Simple example:
- Highest tracked price:
$50,000 - Current price:
$49,950 - Price drop:
$50
If your Price History Minimum Discount is set to $100, this will not show as a discount.
Use this setting to filter out tiny corrections or minor price adjustments that are not meaningful to customers.
Default behavior if not set: 100
Price History Maximum Change (%)
This sets the largest percentage drop that Vyro will allow before deciding the change is probably not a normal discount.
Simple example:
- Highest tracked price:
$50,000 - Current price:
$35,000 - Price drop:
$15,000 - Percentage drop:
30%
If your Price History Maximum Change (%) is set to 25, this will not show as a discount.
Use this setting to prevent unusually large price swings from appearing as promotional discounts when they may be caused by:
- a pricing correction
- a data-entry mistake
- a source-system issue
Default behavior if not set: 25
How it works in simple terms
Vyro checks three things:
- Is the feature enabled?
- Is the current price lower than the highest tracked historical price?
- Does the price drop fall inside your threshold rules?
If the answer to all three is yes, Vyro can show a discount based on price history.
If not, no price-history discount is shown.
When a price-history discount will show
A price-history discount can be shown when:
- the feature is enabled
- the vehicle has price history available
- the highest tracked historical price is greater than the current price
- the dollar drop is at least the Price History Minimum Discount
- the percentage drop is not greater than Price History Maximum Change (%)
When a price-history discount will not show
A price-history discount will not show when:
- the feature is disabled
- no historical price is available
- the current price is the same as or higher than the historical price
- the drop is smaller than the minimum discount threshold
- the drop is larger than the maximum percentage threshold
Normal discounts always override price-history discounts
If a vehicle already has a normal discount in its pricing configuration, Vyro will use that discount instead of calculating one from price history.
In other words:
- explicit pricing discount = shown first
- price history discount = fallback only
Example
- Current drive-away price:
$45,000 - Historical highest price:
$47,000 - Price-history discount would be:
$2,000
But if the pricing configuration already includes a normal discount of $1,500, Vyro will show the normal discount, not the $2,000 history-based one.
This ensures that:
- explicit pricing rules stay authoritative
- manually configured discounts are not replaced by inferred discounts
- price history is only used when no normal discount exists
Recommended setup
A practical starting point for most showrooms is:
- Enable Price History Discounts: On
- Price History Minimum Discount:
$100 - Price History Maximum Change (%):
25
You can then adjust these values depending on how conservative or aggressive you want discount display to be.
Summary
Price History Discounts helps surface genuine price drops automatically, while threshold controls help prevent noisy or misleading discount display.
The key rule to remember is:
Normal pricing discounts always win. Price history discounts are only used when there is no normal discount available.
