What We Track
Price
The current selling price on the competitor's website. We detect:
- Regular prices
- Sale/promotional prices

Stock Availability
We detect if a competitor is out of stock by looking for:
- "Uitverkocht" / "Out of stock" messages
- Disabled add-to-cart buttons
- Stock quantity indicators
Opportunity Alert
When competitors are out of stock, you may be able to adjust your prices. Dynamic pricing rules can factor in stock availability when calculating the optimal price.
