How it works

# From invitation to live prices.

Seven steps you go through once. After that PriceWatch works every night, and in the morning all you have to do is decide.

1.  1
    
    ## Invitation by email
    
    After the demo we set up your environment. You receive a personal invitation to activate your account.
    
2.  2
    
    ## Log in with an authenticator app
    
    Two-factor authentication (2FA) is mandatory for everyone. Link an authenticator app on your phone and log in.
    
3.  3
    
    ## Choose competitors
    
    Select the web shops you want to follow. From the following night we monitor their public prices.
    
4.  4
    
    ## Review matches
    
    Certain matches (on EAN) are ready right away. You check doubtful cases once in the review list.
    
5.  5
    
    ## Build a strategy in six steps
    
    The wizard asks, in order, for:
    
    1.  a Products
    2.  b Competitors
    3.  c Target position
    4.  d Margin and limits
    5.  e Rounding and pace
    6.  f Review
    
6.  6
    
    ## Approve proposals
    
    Every morning you review the proposals. Approve, adjust or reject, one by one or in bulk.
    
7.  7
    
    ## Connect feeds
    
    Connect your web shop through PrestaShop, Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopware, Magento or the XML feed. If you use Google Ads, add the supplemental feed with margin and rank in Merchant Center. From then on approved prices go live automatically.
    

A day with PriceWatch

## Refresh at night, decide in the morning.

*Day timeline from 00:00 to 24:00. Prices are refreshed at night, proposals are ready at 06:00, during the day you approve and prices go live through the feed.*

EVERY NIGHT

### Refresh prices

At night PriceWatch monitors the public prices of the web shops you follow. Then it calculates your proposals.

EVERY MORNING 06:00

### Proposals ready

The list is ready with your first coffee. Whatever you approve goes to your web shop with the next update.

Terms

## The words you’ll see in the portal.

- **Rank**: Your position relative to the competitors you follow. Rank 1 is the cheapest.

- **Price index**: Your price relative to the market, where 100 is equal. An index of 104 means 4% more expensive.

- **Expiry period**: A competitor price not confirmed for 7 days no longer counts towards rank, index or proposals.

- **Quarantine**: A competitor price that deviates unusually strongly is set aside. No proposal is based on it until the price is confirmed.

- **Pace**: How fast a strategy moves towards the target price. A lower pace spreads a large step over several days.
