Why Shopify Price Monitoring Changes Everything

Pricing is the single biggest lever in ecommerce. A 5% price difference can be the reason a customer buys from you — or your competitor.

67%

of online shoppers compare prices across at least 2 stores before purchasing

5-10%

price difference is enough to shift a customer's purchase decision to a competitor

23%

average margin improvement when stores use competitive pricing intelligence

Without price monitoring, you're pricing blind. Your competitor drops their best seller by 15% and runs a flash sale — their customers see lower prices, your customers see your unchanged prices, and you lose orders without ever knowing why.

Every Pricing Signal, Captured

Rivaly's price monitoring goes beyond basic price checks. Here's the pricing intelligence you get.

Price Drop Alerts

Get instant email notifications when any product across your tracked competitors decreases in price. See the exact old price, new price, and percentage change. React to competitor sales within hours.

Price Increase Detection

Know when competitors raise prices — it's a signal. If they increase a product by 10%, you might have room to increase too. Price increases across the market often mean supply tightening or increasing demand.

Sale & Discount Tracking

Rivaly detects compare-at-price changes — the mechanism Shopify uses for showing discounts. See when competitors activate sales, how deep their discounts go, and which products they're discounting most.

Price Distribution Analysis

See how a competitor's catalog is priced overall. What's their average product price? What's the median? How many products fall in each price bracket? This reveals their positioning strategy — budget, mid-range, or premium.

Historical Price Tracking

Every price change is permanently logged. Look back weeks or months to see pricing trends, seasonal patterns, and how competitors adjust strategy over time. Historical data is the key to predicting future moves.

Real-Time Email Notifications

Every price change triggers an immediate email to your inbox. No logging into dashboards, no checking feeds — the intel comes to you. Filter by change type to focus on what matters most for your pricing strategy.

Pricing Strategies Powered by Monitoring

Shopify price monitoring isn't just about knowing numbers — it's about making smarter decisions with better data.

01

Dynamic Repricing Based on Competitor Moves

Repricing

Instead of setting prices and forgetting them, use competitor price data to adjust dynamically. When a top competitor drops a product to $24.99, you can decide whether to match at $24.99, undercut at $22.99, or hold at $29.99 with better perceived value. The point is: you're choosing strategically, not guessing blindly.

02

Margin Protection During Price Wars

Margin Defense

When two competitors start a race to the bottom, you need to see it happening in real-time. Rivaly's price monitoring alerts you when competitors start slashing prices. You can decide whether to join the war, differentiate on value, or temporarily step back from that product until prices stabilize.

03

Seasonal Sale Preparation

Seasonal Intel

By monitoring competitor prices over months, you'll see their seasonal patterns. When did they run Black Friday discounts last year? How deep were the cuts? What products did they discount most? Use this historical pricing intelligence to plan your own seasonal strategy with a real competitive advantage.

04

Identifying Underpriced Inventory

Revenue Recovery

Sometimes you're underpricing products without knowing it. When every competitor sells a similar item for $35-$45 and you're at $28, you're leaving money on the table. Price monitoring reveals these gaps — products where you could safely raise prices and improve margins without losing competitiveness.

Price Monitoring FAQ

How does Shopify price monitoring work?

Rivaly connects to competitor Shopify stores and snapshots every product's price every 6 hours. When a price changes — up or down — the system compares it to the previous snapshot and sends you a detailed email alert with the exact change, percentage difference, and product details.

Can Rivaly detect sale events and compare-at-price changes?

Yes. Rivaly tracks both the active selling price and the compare-at-price (strikethrough price) on each product. When a competitor activates a sale by setting a compare-at-price, you'll know immediately — along with the exact discount percentage they're offering.

How can price monitoring help me increase margins?

If you're pricing based on gut feeling, you're likely leaving money on the table. By seeing exactly what competitors charge for similar products, you can price strategically — matching when necessary, charging more when your value justifies it, and identifying products where you're underpricing yourself.

What's the difference between price monitoring and a price comparison tool?

Price comparison tools show a snapshot — prices at one moment. Price monitoring is ongoing and historical. Rivaly tracks how prices change over time, so you see trends, patterns, and strategies — not just today's numbers. That historical context is what drives smarter pricing decisions.

Can I track prices for specific products across stores?

Rivaly monitors entire store catalogs, so all products in each tracked store are covered. While you can't yet track a single product across multiple stores, you can monitor up to 10 complete stores — giving you full pricing visibility across your competitive landscape.
