How to Track Competitor Price Adjustments in E-Commerce

Setting the right prices is a key part of maintaining healthy sales volumes. If a competitor drops their pricing, your conversion rates may decrease unless you adjust your prices accordingly. Learning how to track competitor price adjustments allows you to monitor these shifts and keep your pricing strategy competitive.

Setting Up Your Price Tracking Process

• Select Target Stores: Identify the top 3-5 stores in your niche.
• Perform Weekly Exports: Use a browser extension to export their catalogs to a local sheet every week.
• Compare Price Columns: Use Excel formulas to cross-reference product handles and highlight price changes.

Responding to Competitor Adjustments

Tracking price changes gives you the data you need to optimize your profit margins, structure promotional discounts, and adjust your ad campaigns to protect your conversion rates.
