How to track competitor prices on Shopify
Most stores start by opening competitor tabs once a week and copying prices into a spreadsheet. That works for five products. Past that, changes slip through between checks. Here is a routine that scales, whether you do it by hand or with an app.
1. Start with the products where price decides the sale
Best sellers, items other stores carry under the same brand, and anything shoppers compare on Google Shopping. These are where a small price gap moves the most orders.
2. Match the exact same product
Compare like with like: same brand, model, size and pack quantity. On Shopify stores you can search the competitor's public catalog instead of hunting for the page; PricePulse ranks the closest title matches for you to confirm.
3. Check as often as your market moves
Weekly is enough for slow categories. Fast-moving or promotion-heavy categories need daily or twice-daily checks, so a weekend sale doesn't cost you the weekend.
4. Watch stock, not just price
A competitor running out of stock is a moment to hold your price or lift your ads. Being alerted when they come back in stock tells you when to get sharper again.
5. Set a threshold so alerts stay useful
Ignore price moves below a set percentage so you only hear about changes worth acting on. In PricePulse the threshold is a single setting you can change anytime.
6. Decide your response in advance
For each product, know whether you match, hold, or compete on something else like shipping or bundles. Price history shows whether a cut is a short promotion or a new normal.
Checking by hand
- Free, and fine for a handful of products
- Every product and competitor is a tab to open on every check
- Changes between checks go unnoticed
- History only exists if you keep the spreadsheet up to date
With PricePulse
- Checks run on a schedule, from weekly to every 6 hours
- Your price next to the lowest competitor, with the gap in percent
- Alerts for drops, rises, undercuts and stock changes
- Every check saved to price history automatically

Questions
Which competitor sites can I track?
Any Shopify store and most online shops that show a price on their product page. Some large retailers block automated checks; paid plans retry those through a fallback. Amazon is available on Pro.
How often are competitor prices checked?
Weekly on Free, daily on Starter, every 12 hours on Growth and every 6 hours on Pro. You can also run a manual check from any product page.
Do I need the competitor's product URL?
Not for Shopify stores. Enter the competitor's store address and PricePulse searches its public catalog for the closest matches to your product, so you can pick the right one. For other shops, paste the product URL.
Does PricePulse change my prices?
No. It only reads your product prices to compare them. You stay in control of every price change.
What data does the app access?
Only your products, read-only. No customer or order data. See the privacy policy.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are billed monthly through Shopify, and uninstalling stops billing immediately.
