MFP - Amazon Glossary

    What is MFP?

    Minimum Featured Price (MFP) is a pricing metric used in Amazon analytics and pricing strategy tools to show the lowest price point at which a product was successfully featured in the Buy Box within a selected timeframe.

    Key characteristics of MFP:

    • Reflects historical price competitiveness
    • Includes item price + shipping
    • Tracked at the ASIN level, often broken down by marketplace and timeframe
    • Used by sellers and vendors to optimize pricing without undercutting unnecessarily

    Why MFP matters:

    • Helps define a pricing floor to stay competitive
    • Prevents margin erosion from over-discounting
    • Useful during deal planning, advertising, and repricing strategies
    • Can signal the price needed to win the Buy Box in past promotions or peak events
    💡 Example: If the MFP for a kitchen blender is $39.99, it means the product was able to win the Buy Box at that price during the selected period - even if it’s currently listed higher.

    In short:
    MFP (Minimum Featured Price) shows the lowest price a product has been featured in the Buy Box - guiding sellers and vendors in setting competitive but profitable pricing.
