price-matching

Matching rival costs

Price-matching is a retail policy where a store agrees to match a competitor's lower price on the same item.

Customers who find an identical product cheaper elsewhere can request the adjustment: Best Buy has a price-matching guarantee.

The practice builds customer loyalty while letting stores stay competitive without preemptively lowering all prices.
