Boost your products on Bob Sync

What is Boost?

Boost is the easiest way to get your Bob Shop listings seen by more buyers. When you Boost a listing, it appears in more places across the site, including the Bob Shop home page, category pages, and search results. With Boost, your listings get greater visibility from the moment they go live. 

Boost tiers


Choose from three different tiers of Boost: all three tiers cover the same four surfaces or areas on the site. The only difference is the frequency and prominence your listing receives.

  1. Boost Basic: Provides prominent exposure for your products across all surfaces: home page, category pages, search results, and paid promotions.

  2. Boost Plus: Features your products more frequently than Basic for increased visibility and stronger placement across all available Bob Shop surfaces.

  3. Boost Premium: Provides maximum exposure with the most frequent and prominent placements across all available Bob Shop surfaces.


Boost with Bob Sync


Bob Sync's rule engine allows you to easily Boost multiple listings at once. 

Steps to set up Boost on Bob sync:

  1. Open Bob Sync

  2. Create a new rule

  3. Select which products to Boost 

  4. Select Apply Boost as the rule action and choose your Boost tier


Bob Sync will automatically apply your chosen Boost option to every product that matches your rule condition.

Alert
Only percentage Boost options are available through Bob Sync. If a listing already has a flat-rate Boost option that was set manually on Bob Shop, you'll need to remove that option on Bob Shop before the Bob Sync rule will take effect.

How to pay for Boost with Bob Sync

Pay per sale (% Per Sale): pay nothing upfront. Instead, a percentage is charged on each item sold, in addition to the standard success fee. Prices are:

  • Boost Basic: 10% per sale

  • Boost Plus: 15% per sale

  • Boost Premium: 20% per sale

Why Pay per listing (Fixed Fee) doesn’t apply to Bob Sync merchants. 

The Pay per listing (Fixed Fee) model charges a single, upfront fee per item, which keeps a Boosted item active for up to 30 days or until the listing closes. Because Bob Sync is an automated tool designed for bulk product syncing and real-time inventory management, listings fluctuate dynamically.
