Help :: Ideas for using Priceshout

There are a number of things that you could use Priceshout for, and below we've given a few examples. We're sure that our users will think of their own uses however!

As a price comparison website

Fed up of price comparison websites not tracking products you wish to purchase?

By adding the same product from different stores and using tags and the filtering/sorting options appropriately then you can use Priceshout as your own personal price comparison website.

To notify you when products change

Is a product too expensive or not in stock at the moment?

Then setup notifiers in the product control panel to let you know when the price drops or the product comes in stock, and Priceshout will e-mail you when it happens!

As a Christmas/birthday/wedding/wishlist service

Want to provide your family or website users with a list of gifts you'd like to receive?

Then tag products with a tag such as "wishlist" and send your friends and family to your product list on Priceshout.

To build shopping guides

Want to share a list of products that you'd recommend?

Give each product you'd like to group together a unique tag and send people to your product list or integrate the list into your website using our RSS feeds. You could then produce guides like "best upcoming PC games" or "gadgets to avoid".

To share bargains

Found a bargain?

Add it to Priceshout and share it with the masses! By browsing areas such as the popular products list you can find other people's bargains too.

To track trends in internet shopping

Some web stores have pricing patterns where the price drops at certain times of the week, month or year.

By using the price graph feature on the Priceshout product page then you can spot the best time to buy. You can also use the popular tags page to keep track of what's hot in the internet shopping world.

To find alternatives to products you're interested in

Use the related products feature to find alternatives to a product that you're interested in. Using the feature you may also be able to find the same product at different stores, enabling you to compare prices or find somewhere where it is in stock.

To merge multiple wishlists from different sites

Used different wishlist services in the past?

Use our RSS/Wishlist importer to merge them all into your Priceshout list.
