This guide shows you how to use our app to auto-match your products with competitors. You can match products with competitors you already know and discover new ones using our discovery tool. The process is simple, user-friendly, and designed to help you get started right away.
Start by visiting /products, your product overview page. This is where you can take full control of your product catalog. Easily search, filter, and sort through your products to find exactly what you need. Select the product you want to match and simply click the 'Find' button to begin matching. We’ve already preloaded a few of your products, in that case you’ll see a number indicating the amount of matches found.
Price Parrot searches the web and returns matching competitor listings in seconds. It surfaces well-known competitors as well as ones you may not have been tracking. No waiting around.
In this step, you can select the competitor URLs that best match your product. The suggested matches are highly accurate, thanks to our advanced algorithms, but there is always a small margin of error. You can mitigate this by reviewing and approving the auto-matches for 100% accuracy. Browse through the suggested matches, review the competitor listings, and pick the most relevant URLs.
We will now scrape the selected competitor URLs several times a day to ensure you always have the most accurate and up-to-date price information available. You do not need to do anything for this step as it is fully automated. This is also a good time to set up repricing rules to make the most of the pricing data and stay ahead of the competition.
If you notice competitors appearing that are outside your target market, such as retailers in other countries or marketplaces you do not sell on, you can set up filters to exclude them. This keeps your data focused on the competitors that actually matter to your business. Reach out to support@priceparrot.io if you need help configuring specific filters or custom rules.
