# Business Pricing Dashboard

Compete directly with PnP and Checkers by listing your product prices on Visita. When your price is the cheapest, customers find you.

## Why List Your Prices?

  <Card title="Price Transparency" icon="scale-balanced">

</CardGroup>

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Claim Your Business">
    Go to `visita.co.za/business/pricing`. You need an existing directory listing claimed on Visita.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search Products">
    Browse our catalog of 17,000+ products. See what each retailer charges.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Your Price">
    Enter your price for each product. View a ranked comparison of all sources.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Appear in Grocery Lists">
    When a resident builds a grocery list and runs the optimizer, your store appears if you're the cheapest option.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The Competitor Price Card

When you select a product, you see a ranked list of all sources:

| Source          | Price  | Type           |
| --------------- | ------ | -------------- |
| Your Business ⭐ | R24.99 | Local Business |
| Pick n Pay      | R29.99 | Retailer       |
| Checkers        | R31.49 | Retailer       |

If your price is the lowest, you'll see a green **"You're the cheapest!"** banner. Otherwise, you'll see guidance on what price to set.

## Managing Your Products

* **My Products tab** — View all your listed prices, update or remove them
* **Add Products tab** — Search the catalog, compare competitors, set new prices
* **Notes** — Add notes like "Bulk discount available" or "While stocks last"

<Tip>
  Start with your best-selling items. Even 10-20 products can bring customers to your store.
</Tip>

## Who Should Use This?

* **Spaza shops** — Compete on staples (bread, milk, rice, cooking oil)
* **Wholesale outlets** — Show bulk pricing advantages
* **Specialty stores** — Highlight unique products not found at big chains
* **Any local business** — If you sell products from our catalog, you can list your price

## Pricing

**It's completely free.** Visita doesn't charge businesses to list prices. We make money from premium intelligence features, not from vendor fees.
