€199 becomes £199, not £169.15: what round prices per market deliver.
Shopify converts your euro price at the exchange rate. So €199 becomes £169.15 in the UK. Optivate keeps a round, local price in every market, prepares every change, and you approve. At ETQ and TOV combined, that adds an estimated €150,000 to €250,000 extra margin a year.

01 · The problem
The exchange rate gives odd prices.
Shopify converts your euro price at the exchange rate. A €199 shoe then costs £169.15 in the UK. In Denmark a price lands on 3,013 kr.
An amount like that looks converted, not local. And you leave margin on the table: a British customer knows £199 as a price point, the way a Dutch customer knows €199.
02 · The method
A round price per currency. And how we work out what it delivers.
Optivate knows what a logical price looks like in each market: £199 instead of £169.15, a round amount in kroner instead of 3,013 kr. Where it fits, you take a few percent extra margin.
Here's how we work it out. At ETQ about 20% of revenue comes from the UK. TOV does over €1 million in Denmark, within the first year. On those orders, round prices add about 5–6% per order. Together that's an estimated €150,000 to €250,000 extra margin a year, straight to EBITDA.

03 · How it works
Optivate proposes. You approve. Live in every market.
A local price makes your brand look local in every country, and that helps conversion. Optivate does the work behind it: every price change is prepared, you decide.
- 01
Optivate proposes
A round price in the local currency for every product in every market. New products and price changes are ready in the morning.
- 02
You approve
Per product or all at once. You change what you want. No price goes live without your approval.
- 03
Live in every market
Optivate puts the prices into Shopify, per market in its own currency. You don't retype a thing.
04 · Sales
A sale with a floor at your cost price.
Sales run through Pricing & margin too. A sale gets a floor at your cost price: if a discount would go below it, Optivate keeps to the floor.
And a sale starts and stops by itself. Afterwards the round prices per market are back as they were, without anyone resetting prices at night.
How Pricing & margin worksRound prices per market are part of Pricing & margin.
