How to Set Up Free Price Drop Alerts

Clearance markdowns and price drops land at unpredictable times: a store resets pricing overnight, a rollback expires, an item finally gets its next markdown stage. Checking a product page on your own schedule means you're relying on luck to catch the moment it happens. An alert removes the timing problem entirely: it checks for you, continuously, and only bothers you when there's actually news.

• Search the product. Use the scanner on the homepage to find the item at the retailer and location you care about. No account needed for this step.
• Open the price-watch button. Once the item is scanned, use the price-alert action to start tracking it.
• Sign in with your email.Alerts require a free account so we know where to send the notification. Sign in with Google or email, then verify your email address if you haven't already.
• Set your target price.Enter the price you want to be notified at. You can check the item's price history first to pick a realistic target based on what it's actually sold for before.
• Save it and move on. ShelfAware checks the price in the background and emails you the moment it hits your target. No need to open the site again until then.

A target price set below an item's all-time low will likely never trigger. Pull up the price history chart before setting a target: it shows exactly how low an item has gone before, so you can set a target that's ambitious but realistic instead of guessing.

Every ShelfAware price-drop alert is free, with no limit on how many products you track and no premium tier to unlock more.
