Reports & Price Monitoring

Understanding your daily competitor reports

6 questions

How often are competitor prices checked?

Stakeout runs a full competitor price check once per day at the time you configure in Settings. This gives you a consistent daily snapshot of the competitive landscape.

Can I search via my Barcode/UPC/EAN Number?

Yes, If you have your UPC/EAN Number stored in the barcode field we will also search Google for that number.

Where does Stakeout find competitor prices?

Stakeout searches two major sources:

- Amazon — using the marketplace you selected (e.g. amazon.com, amazon.co.uk)
- Google Shopping — using the country you selected

Also if you have a GTIN / UPC / EAN / ISBN number stored in the barcode field we will also search Google for that barcode number.

Sponsored listings and results without a clear price are automatically filtered out, so you only see genuine competitor offers.

What does the report show?

Each report includes a summary for every monitored product showing:

- Your current price
- The best price found on Amazon
- The best price found on Google Shopping
- The best price found when searching Google for your UPC / EAN / ISBN (If you have this number stored in the barcode field)
- A breakdown of how many competitors are priced higher, lower, or the same as you

You can click on any count to see the individual competitor details.

What does 'Market Position' mean?

Market Position summarises how your price compares to competitors found in that report. It shows the number of competitors that are more expensive, less expensive, or priced the same as you. This gives you a quick sense of where you stand without having to review every competitor individually.

Can I receive my report by email?

Yes. Stakeout can send you a daily summary email when each report completes. You can enable or disable this from the Settings page under email preferences. The email is sent to the store owner's email address on file with Shopify.
