Once Watchlyst – Price Alerts is installed and configured, the app automatically tracks product prices and notifies customers when their desired price is reached.
Step-by-Step Process
1 Install & Configure the App
Install Watchlyst – Price Alerts on your Shopify store and configure the app settings to display the Watch Price button on your product pages.
Note: If you've already installed and configured the app, you can skip this step.
2 Customers Subscribe to Price Alerts
When customers visit a product page, they'll see the Watch Price button. By clicking it, they can enter:
- Their email address
- Their desired price for the product
The app securely stores this information and creates a price alert for that product.
3 Automatic Price Monitoring
Watchlyst continuously monitors the product's price at the interval configured in the app settings.
4 Price Drop Notification
As soon as the product price reaches or falls below the customer's target price, Watchlyst automatically sends a personalised email notification.
The email includes:
- Product details
- Updated product price
- A direct link back to the product page
5 Customer Returns to Purchase
The customer clicks the link in the email, returns to your Shopify store, and can complete their purchase at the new price.
Important Notes
- Customisable Monitoring Interval
The price monitoring frequency is fully configurable. You can choose how often Watchlyst checks for product price changes based on your store's requirements. - One-Time Notification per Alert
Once a customer receives a price drop notification for a subscribed product, that specific alert is automatically marked as completed. No additional emails will be sent for the same subscription unless the customer creates a new alert. - Automatic Alert Expiry
Price alerts automatically expire three months after the customer subscribes, helping keep your alert list up to date and relevant.
