Can I track Shopify product price changes over time?
Yes! ShopXray's price tracking feature automatically monitors and records price changes for every product in your tracked stores.
How price tracking works:
-
Every time ShopXray scans a tracked store (every 12-24 hours depending on your plan), it records the current price of every product variant
-
When a price changes between scans, ShopXray logs the old price, new price, timestamp, and percentage change
-
Price history is displayed as visual charts in your dashboard
What you can see:
-
Complete price history over time for any tracked product
-
Price drops (potential sales or clearance events)
-
Price increases (supply constraints, inflation adjustments, or testing)
-
Discount patterns (weekly sales, seasonal promotions, flash sales)
-
Compare-at price changes (showing when stores adjust their "original" prices)
Why price tracking matters:
-
Competitive Pricing: Know exactly when competitors drop or raise prices so you can respond quickly
-
Discount Intelligence: Identify competitor discount patterns (e.g., "they always run 20% off on Fridays")
-
Market Trends: Rising prices across multiple competitors may signal supply constraints or growing demand
-
Product Lifecycle: Falling prices often indicate end-of-life clearance — useful for timing your own product launches
