How it sells itself

MarginWatch syncs your active product catalogue and helps multi-brand stores compare matching products sold by other retailers. Add the exact public competitor product page to monitor price, stock, promotions, titles, descriptions and images. Supported foreign currencies are converted using daily exchange rates. Choose which changes trigger email alerts and use reports to review priorities.

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 active products with images, prices, references and stock
  • Monitor matching competitor prices, availability and promotions
  • Compare supported currencies using daily exchange rates
  • Choose email alert types and review scheduled reports
  • Track up to 300 products across competitor channels
  • Review AI-suggested competitor URLs before tracking
  • See daily changes and MAP-style flags inside Shopify
