Set up competitors to watch

Price Checker only knows about the competitors you tell it to track. This article covers adding and managing them.

Adding a retailer

Go to Settings → Retailers and add each competitor you want price checks to compare against. Every retailer you add here is included in every future run, so it's worth starting with the handful of competitors that matter most rather than adding everything you can think of.

Why this matters for everything else

Retailers you add here are the foundation the rest of the product builds on:

• Runs from Overview compare your catalog against these retailers.
• Recommendations in the Action Center reference which retailer prompted them.
• Alerts fire when one of these retailers' prices moves.

Add too few retailers and you'll miss competitive moves; the right number is however many retailers your business actually competes against.

Plan caps

The number of retailers you can add is capped by your plan tier. If you're near your limit, Settings → Billing shows your current usage and the tiers available. See Billing & credits basics for how caps work generally.
