The Product Search filter panel helps you control which products appear after your scan. By setting the right filters, you can narrow results to items that match your buying goals.
🎥 Watch this walkthrough video to see what each filter does and how to use them effectively.
Filter Highlights
Each section in the Filter Products panel serves a different purpose. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll find and how to use it:
Filter Group | What It Controls | Example Use |
Source Price Adjustments | Modifies your buy cost to reflect discounts, cashback, or tax. | Add 10% discount or 5% cashback to improve ROI accuracy. |
Remove | Excludes products you don’t want to see, like hazmat or out-of-stock items. | Hide Amazon-sold or suppressed listings. |
Source Titles | Adjusts how Tactical Arbitrage matches products by name. | Remove “digital” or add “bundle” for better accuracy. |
Costs & Fees | Adds prep or shipping costs to your profit calculations. | Include $1.00 per-unit prep and $0.50 shipping costs. |
Profit & ROI | Filters products by your preferred profit or return percentage. | Show only results with ROI > 25% or Profit > $5. |
Other Filters | Controls display options, such as showing unmatched or used items. | Show used books or limit to in-stock items only. |
Tips & Best Practices
Getting filters right can make the difference between too many or too few results.
Here’s what to focus on when setting up Product Search filters:
Start simple: Begin with broad filters, for example, ROI > 25% or Profit > $5 — and refine once you understand your category margins.
Reflect real-world pricing: Add discounts, cashback, or tax under Source Price Adjustments to get accurate ROI numbers. Enable Auto to pull the best cashback and gift card rates automatically.
Run smaller tests first: Each retail site behaves differently. Start with smaller batches or Easy Bulk lists before scanning large categories.
Avoid over-filtering: Too many limits can give you zero results. Widen your filters to capture more data, then narrow later.
Include prep and tax costs: Enter shipping, prep, and local tax in Costs & Fees to avoid inflated ROI values.
Use “Remove if Amazon is Seller” with care: Amazon-sold products can still rotate Buy Box ownership — test before excluding them by default.
Save reusable setups: Once your filters work well, click Save current filter setup to quickly reuse it for similar searches.
Validate before buying: Use Tactical Edge to double-check rank, pricing, and competition on your top leads.
Stay flexible: Market conditions and store layouts change. Revisit your filters often to keep results accurate and profitable.
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t chase only high ROI numbers — a consistent 25% ROI on products that sell fast often outperforms 70% ROI items that barely move.
