In an era where dynamic decision-making is essential for competitive advantage, the integration of machine learning (ML) in real-time pricing and yield optimization offers transformative potential for the commerce sector. This paper explores the application of advanced ML techniques to predict demand, optimize pricing strategies, and maximize revenue while ensuring customer satisfaction. By leveraging data from various sources such as market trends, consumer behavior, inventory levels, and competitor pricing, ML models can adapt in real time to shifting market conditions. Key approaches, including reinforcement learning, predictive analytics, and dynamic programming, are discussed to illustrate how businesses can achieve granular control over pricing mechanisms and yield management. Additionally, the study highlights challenges such as data quality, computational efficiency, and ethical considerations, proposing robust strategies to address them. The findings suggest that the synergy between ML and real-time commerce operations not only enhances decision-making precision but also fosters sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving digital marketplace.
