A price on a comparison site is a time observation, not an authorised competitor price list. It may include terms, delivery, stock, promotion, or a product variation.
A price on a comparison site is a time observation, not an authorised competitor price list. It may include terms, delivery, stock, promotion, or a product variation. Every record should include identified product, source URL, time, shown price, currency, shown availability, and a note about model equivalence.
Do not automatically connect a competitor price to your own price. First define equivalent product, deviation threshold, and approval process. If model, warranty, or delivery terms differ, mark not comparable rather than making a faulty pricing decision.
Collect only public information consistent with source terms and respect structural changes or restrictions. Price decisions remain with the business, which can consider cost, service, stock, and strategy beyond the number on screen.
