Abstract
A product pricing system may include at least one shopper device associated with a respective shopper and a product pricing server. The server may be configured to obtain geographic location data from the at least one shopper device and determine current store foot-traffic associated with a store at a given time based upon the geographic location data. The server may also be configured to adjust a current price of a given product for purchase at the store based upon the current store foot-traffic and cooperate with the at least one shopper device to display the adjusted current price of the given product for purchase at the store. The server may also be configured to lock the adjusted current price of the given product for purchase from further adjustment for a threshold time period based upon a selection input to the at least one shopper device.
