General Help

StoreWatch is an app built for Shopify to monitor any url - whether that be a store or any other site.

StoreWatch runs seamlessly in the background with no impact on your store.

You have the option to track the entire page, specific elements or the price. When tracking the price you also have the option to set auto pricing - this allows the price of your product to automatically update based on a competitors store.

Specify the URL of the page you wish to monitor and based on your subscription how quick you want to be informed. That's it - StoreWatch runs day and night, completely in the background, with no impact on your store. And again based on your subscription, when something changes, you'll either get an email and mobile notifications.

By default, the entire contents of the page specified are monitored. However you have the option to only monitor specific elements of the page if you so wish - for example you may only want to watch the price, a certain title or even a paragraph - you choose.

Yes, rest assured. For starters, we don't collect any tracking data or anything private related to your store. We take a snapshot of the public URL you have asked us to monitor. Thats it. Nothing extra is collected and nothing is shared with any 3rd parties. Finally, we ensure everything else is completely inline Shopify's best practices.

And we're committed to keeping it that way.

Technical Help

By default once a page is selected, it is monitored entirely. However at times you may wish to monitor just a specific section or exclude a section of the page. For example if say there is an element that frequently changes, like a clock. You would want to avoid being alerted for these.

When a monitored page has changed, you'll see a red exclamation in the StoreWatch homepage.
To acknowledged this last change, click the Acknowledge button and the red exclamation mark will change to a green tick.
The purpose of this is solely to help you identify what has changed since the last time.
