Competitive Pricing
Competitive Pricing is per-merchant competitor tracking — not a shared index.
How matching works
You add up to 5 competitor URLs. Cipzo crawls those specific sites and matches your SKUs to theirs via barcode (exact GTIN/UPC), SKU code (vendor SKU), or manual (operator-confirmed).
Configuration
Add or remove competitor URLs from the Competitive Pricing settings page. Cipzo accepts standard catalog URLs from any Shopify store; other retailers are best-effort.
Reading the data
Match quality is reported per row:
- barcode — exact GTIN/UPC match, highest confidence
- sku — vendor SKU match, high confidence if SKUs are standardized
- manual — operator-confirmed, used when automatic matching fails
Limitations
- Only works for branded goods with shared barcodes/SKUs across merchants.
- Unique / private-label / custom products won’t have matches.
- Some competitor sites block bots — when this happens Cipzo surfaces “data unavailable” rather than guessing.
Example — Meridian Supply
Tracking 5 competitors across 234 matched SKUs. Priced above market on 23 SKUs. Estimated price-test impact: ~$3,400/mo if priced to median.
