At a glance
Listings Where Smart Pricing Hit Floor counts the active listings where Mercari Smart Pricing has walked the price all the way down to your seller-defined floor and parked it there. When an item sits at its floor, the algorithm has run out of room and the listing is now as cheap as you allowed, yet it still has not sold.
Calculation
Vortex IQ reads each active listing that has Smart Pricing turned on, compares its current price to the floor you set when you enabled the feature, and counts the listing if the two have converged and the price has held there across the window. The card reflects items that have exhausted the automatic discounting Mercari offers. It does not include listings that are still stepping down toward their floor, only those that have arrived and stalled.Worked example
A representative reading of Listings Where Smart Pricing Hit Floor for a typical Mercari reseller. On 14 Mar 26 the card reads 9, up from 2 the previous week. Drilling in, eight of the nine are mid-tier streetwear pieces graded ‘Good’ that you floored at 22 dollars. Smart Pricing took them from 38 dollars down to 22 over ten days and they have not moved. The reading tells you demand at that condition grade has softened below your floor, so holding firm just keeps them invisible at the bottom of search. The action is to decide deliberately: either lower the floor on the pieces you want gone, refresh the listing to claim the 7-day freshness boost, or delist and relist with better photos. Cross-referencemer_listings_active to see how much of your live catalogue is now floored stock, and mer_listing_quality_score to check whether weak listing quality, not price, is the real blocker. Vortex Mind traces upstream causes such as a category-wide price slide, and Ask Viq answers plain-English questions like “which floored items have had no views in 7 days”.

Reconciling against Mercari
Where to look in Mercari’s own dashboard: Open each listing in your Mercari seller view and check the Smart Pricing panel, where the current price and your floor are shown side by side. Mercari does not give you a single rolled-up count of floored listings, so you would otherwise be checking them one at a time. The Vortex IQ card is the aggregate Mercari leaves you to assemble by hand. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:
Cross-connector reconciliation: This card is Mercari-only, but pairing it with your source catalogue helps you decide whether a floored item is worth holding or should be pulled everywhere. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind.
