Automatic Matching
ShopiSync uses smart matching to find the right products:
- Product title matching — Finds products with similar names
- EAN/Barcode matching — When available, matches by product code
- Price range filtering — Ignores results with wildly different prices
Best Practices
- Start with major retailers: Add the big players in your market first
- Use official site URLs: Always use the main domain (e.g., www.competitor.com, not a sub-page)
- Review results carefully: Not all matches may be exact — verify before approving
- Update regularly: Add new competitors as you discover them
