# Verify Catalog Price Before Listing

## When this correction applies

- Apply this correction before any listing, relaunch or promotional run that states, sets or repeats a product price.

- Apply it across every storefront the run touches, including Gumroad, Shopify and Google Play Books.

## Read the live price first

- Read the live catalog record for each product in the same run, from the storefront itself or its API, and use only the prices those records show.

- Treat a price found in builder paperwork, a build package, a pasted memo or an older summary as an unapproved proposal, never as the price the user set.

- Use a proposed price only after the live record confirms it or the user states that price himself in the current task.

## Stop on a mismatch

- Stop the price-bearing part of the run when a document price and the live record disagree, and name both values with their sources.

- Keep doing the parts of the run that carry no price while the mismatch waits for the user or a live record to settle it.

- Never brief, draft or schedule launch copy with a price you have not confirmed in this run.

## Recheck after a correction lands mid-run

- Re-read the final catalog when a price correction reaches a run that already created records, since early records may carry the wrong price.

- Confirm nothing is live for sale at the wrong price, and report any residue such as draft or deactivated records plainly instead of calling the catalog clean.

## Alternatives for better results

- Pull the full live catalog in one read at the start of a multi-product run instead of checking prices product by product as each listing is built.

- Quote the live record beside every price in a launch brief, so the user can spot a wrong figure in one glance.
