The operating problem
Warranty pricing is fragile when product groups, model numbers, warranty sheets, Shopify variants, and marketplace context are maintained across separate systems.
Case Study Playbook
Ecommerce warranty price operations
Use OpenTeam to prepare a Vesta price-list workbook, calculate warranty add-on prices, and sync existing Shopify warranty variants after a controlled dry run.

Customer profile
Who this is for.
Ecommerce teams selling through Shopify and Amazon Seller that maintain product price lists, warranty options, model numbers, and variant-level pricing in spreadsheets.
The OpenTeam outcome
OpenTeam prepares the workbook, flags unclear product groups, runs a Shopify dry run, and updates only approved existing warranty variants after human review.

Daily workflow
How the work runs.
These are the repeatable steps a customer can turn into a Team workflow, skill, or managed review process.
01
Start with the Vesta workbook
Upload or select the latest Vesta price-list workbook with the US sheet, Warranty sheet, model numbers, product groups, and warranty price columns.
02
Prepare warranty prices in Excel
Run update-warranty-prices to calculate warranty add-on prices, normalize warranty prices across variants of the same product, and fill final price-with-warranty columns.
03
Resolve unclear product groups
If a product group has no clear reference row, OpenTeam asks for the manual reference row so the workbook can be rerun with an explicit source of truth.
04
Match workbook rows to Shopify
Use the finished workbook as input to update-shopify-prices and match rows to active Shopify products, preferably by model number before using fallback matching.
05
Run a Shopify dry run
Preview updates without writing changes, including match counts, fallback matches, missing warranty variants, skipped rows, and changed prices.
06
Approve and update existing variants
After review, run the real sync to update existing 2/3/4/5-year warranty variants only; the workflow does not create new Shopify variants.
07
Report the outcome
Produce a final report showing what changed, what was skipped, fallback matches used, missing warranty variants, and any products needing manual cleanup.
Ask OpenTeam to
Copyable customer requests.
Run update-warranty-prices on this Vesta price-list workbook and show me any product groups that need a manual reference row.
Use row 42 as the manual reference row for this product group, rerun the warranty workbook, and summarize changed price-with-warranty columns.
Run update-shopify-prices as a dry run against active Shopify products and show match counts, fallback matches, missing warranty variants, and changed prices.
The dry run looks clean; prepare the real Shopify update for existing 2/3/4/5-year warranty variants and report what changed or was skipped.

Approval controls
Where people stay in the loop.
Manual reference rows require a person to confirm the correct source row before rerunning the workbook.
Shopify sync must run as a dry run before any write action.
The real sync updates only existing 2/3/4/5-year warranty variants and does not create new variants.
Fallback matches, missing variants, and changed prices must be reviewed before approval.
Amazon Seller data can support reconciliation, but marketplace listing changes remain separate approval-gated actions.
Rollout path
How to start.
1
Start with one Vesta workbook, read access to Shopify and Amazon Seller, and a limited product set.
2
Validate update-warranty-prices output against known products before allowing Shopify dry runs.
3
Review dry-run reports until model-number matches, fallback rules, and missing-variant handling are stable.
4
Allow real Shopify updates only after an operator approves the dry-run report for that workbook version.
