There is an online store of partners, you need to make sure that goods are duplicated on another site and a change in all prices by a certain percentage. How and with what help can this be done?

Ask partners to export the catalog with prices in xml or some format convenient for you. Then once a day you check the update of this file and import it to your site.
If partners cannot provide a catalog, write a parser and generate a partner catalog file yourself.

If these are your partners, then it is strange that you do not have access. Apparently they are not your partners.
The most normal solution is to have access to their database, and make requests there, and display them on your site, taking into account the adjustments. All sorts of "parsing" is complete shit. This method is only good if you are stealing. And this is very bad
. Plus, parsing is a big load on you and on Them. Long response time, you will only know that the price has changed when the parser updates. And if you parse, you will be banned. No no no. Better ask for db access like "read-only" so you can't break anything

You can try parsing.
Ideally, if you have access to the database to the partner's site, then by importing the database, you only need to edit everything for your database (fields, tables, etc.).

it would be logical to copy the database, but there is no access to the site, plus is it possible for the catalog and prices to be updated automatically depending on changes on the partner's site?

You won't do it automatically (because I haven't heard about it). As an option, parse all the information once every couple of days and upload it to your site (depending on the change in partner's price).

Access to the database of a partner who supplies goods is complete nonsense, not a single more or less successful company will open access to its database.
If the partner has an API for receiving goods - use it, if not - request it, as this is the most correct option.
