An Offer Agent for Demand You Are Leaving on the Table

This one is for brands. If you are looking for an AI commerce use case that is already on the product page, this is it. Shoppers who want the deal can set a price with the offer agent.

The shopper who leaves at list price is not always a no. A lot of the time they have a number. You never got to hear it. That includes overstock: a color that sat, a size that did not move, units you made so you would not stock out.

A public sale fixes that the loud way. It trains people to wait. It marks the brand down. And it gives the same cut to someone who would have paid full price. An off-price channel can do the same damage offstage.

Buyr is the quieter system, and it is a use case for those overstocked goods. Shoppers name a price. An offer agent helps them find a number your rules can accept. A deal unlocks only when that price clears. Your list price can stay your list price.

The AI piece: an offer agent that helps them find the price

The offer agent sits with the shopper on the product. It helps them find a price. If a number would unlock now, it can point them at that guaranteed price. They still choose the number. The agent does not rewrite your public sticker from browsing data.

The wheel does the same job without chat. Color shows guaranteed, or still an ask. Either path is checked against thresholds you set.

  • A price that clears your auto-accept rules can unlock on the spot. They check out and pay that price.
  • A price that is allowed, but not an instant yes, can be submitted. A pending offer is not charged until it is accepted. That can be you, or a rule you already turned on.
  • A price under the floor does not go through.

You choose the model. A steady anchor. A price that steps as units sell. Tiers. On some products the shopper names a price between your floor and list price. On sloped and tiered models they buy the live unit price the model is showing right now. The math stays on your side. The shopper sees the number before they commit.

That is AI on the offer, with the price in the open. Not a bot rewriting the public sticker because of a zip code. Not a popup handing 10% to traffic that was already going to buy.

Overstock, without a public sale

Overstock is a Buyr use case. Units that will not clear at list do not have to become a sitewide markdown or a liquidation channel. A shopper names a price on those goods. They move when the price clears your floor. The brand stays the brand.

This is not a wholesale desk that buys your lots and resells them to jobbers. It is a consumer offer on products you already sell. The unit stays on buyr.com or on your own product page.

If you have been looking at price optimization software, this is the version that starts with the shopper's number, and an agent that helps them find it, not a competitor scrape. The longer contrast is on Buyr vs discounts.

Willingness to pay, from people who meant it

Every offer is a willingness-to-pay signal. Not a survey. A price a shopper was willing to attach to checkout.

You can filter those offers, take the ones that fit, and use the pattern to set floors with less guessing. Most stores only record two outcomes: bought at the sticker, or left. Buyr records the number in between. That is the demand a normal checkout throws away.

Matrix Keyboards' CEO described the result on the Shopify App Store: customers name their price, and the store captures revenue from shoppers who would not have bought at full price, without slashing prices in a way that makes the brand look bad. More demand at different price points. Fewer public discounts.

Two ways to sell, one pricing idea

If you sell on buyr.com, shoppers are already here naming prices on branded products. Inventory is brand-new, from authorized merchants, with free standard shipping and free returns on the marketplace.

If you want the same offer on your own Shopify store, the Buyr app puts Set Your Price on your product page, with the offer agent. An offer that clears your auto-accept threshold can check out at that price without a manual review. Your public price does not have to become a promotion. That is how overstock can move without a sale tag.

What it costs

Free to install. A 4.9% fee on orders captured through Buyr. No subscription. No listing fee. We make money when you make money.

The sell page puts setup at about ten minutes if you already know your floor. You do not need a pricing-science project to hear the number shoppers were already willing to say.

Questions brands ask

Is overstock a fit?

Yes. Overstocked goods that will not sell at list are a use case. A shopper names a price. The unit moves when it clears your floor. We do not run a wholesale liquidation desk, and we do not promise every unit sells.

Where is the AI?

The offer agent helps the shopper find a price your rules can accept. It can point at a guaranteed number. It does not set a hidden price from who they are.

Will this train customers to wait for a discount?

The offer is not a sitewide sale. List price stays public. The deal is the one that shopper named, and only if it clears your rules.

Do I have to approve every offer?

No. Set an auto-accept threshold and instant matches check out at that price. Offers under that line can wait for you, or for rules you already defined.
