# Why is the order's purchase price different from the supplier's price?

> The Purchase Price is the one Droopify knew at the time of the sale: the supplier may have changed it since. You can correct it in the order details.

An order's **Purchase Price** is the product price Droopify knew at the time of the eBay sale: if the supplier changes it afterwards, it no longer matches what you see on the website.

## The supplier changed the price after the sale

Amazon and AliExpress prices can change at any time and Droopify checks them periodically. The more time passes between the sale and the purchase, the more likely the price has changed: purchase orders as soon as possible, or use the automatic order ([Purchase Product](https://docs.droopify.co/en/fulfill-order)).

## The automatic order updated the price

When the automatic order on Amazon reaches checkout, the **Purchase Price** is replaced with the actual cart price and the profit is recalculated. If the loss reaches the supplier account's **Maximum loss limit**, the automatic order stops ([The automatic order doesn't start](https://docs.droopify.co/en/auto-order-not-starting)). With [Connect Order](https://docs.droopify.co/en/connect-order) on an AliExpress order, the price is taken from the AliExpress order.

## Supplier discounts and coupons

If the product had a coupon or a discount when Droopify read it, the **Purchase Price** already includes it. If the discount has expired, the price you pay will be higher.

## US region orders

For US region orders, the **Purchase Price** also includes an estimate of the US sales tax, so it is higher than the price shown on the product page.

## Correcting the price

Open the order, go to the **Edit** tab, enter the **Purchase Price** you paid and click **Save Changes**: the profit is recalculated. The change only applies on Droopify ([Order details](https://docs.droopify.co/en/view-order-details)).
