How it sells itself

Live Pricing helps merchants monitor prices for matching products sold by other Shopify stores. Sync your product catalog, choose products to monitor, review suggested matches before tracking, and see confirmed competitors, price drops, below-store-price alerts, stale matches, and refresh status from the Shopify admin.

Compare your price with tracked competitor prices in Shopify. Review suggested matches or add known product URLs, then follow daily changes and configure alerts. You keep control of pricing: SKU Surf does not reprice your products. Price-difference comparisons require a single-variant Shopify product and a healthy tracked price in the same currency, checked within 26 hours.

Key points
  • Sync Shopify products and choose which variants to monitor
  • Discover matching products from other Shopify stores
  • Review each suggested match before price tracking begins
  • Track confirmed competitor prices and refresh status
  • Track up to 300 products across competitor channels
  • Review AI-suggested competitor URLs before tracking
  • See daily changes and MAP-style flags inside Shopify
