Getting Started

Welcome to Octaprice. This guide will walk you through the onboarding process to begin tracking product prices efficiently.

Step 1: Selecting Your Data Source​

Upon initiating the onboarding process, you have two primary options for selecting data sources:

  1. Popular Sources: Choose from our list of pre-defined popular eCommerce platforms.
  2. Own URLs: Input custom URLs specific to your tracking requirements.

Select a source by clicking on the logo of a popular platform (e.g., Amazon, Target). This action automatically populates your dashboard with 30 URLs, and our system will extract product data from these URLs daily.

Own URLs​

To track your own URLs, select from the following options:

  • Product Pages: Directly input up to 30 specific product URLs.
  • Category Pages (Available on paid plans): Track entire categories from a single domain.
  • Full Site Tracking (Available on paid plans): Monitor all product listings from an entire domain.

For Category Pages or Full Site Tracking, you will be prompted to contact our team for a customized quote.

Netlocs​

Please note that a netloc refers to the domain for a specific region. For example, amazon.com differs from amazon.co.uk. You may input up to 30 product URLs from the same netloc.

Step 2: Dashboard Initialization​

After selecting a source or adding your own URLs, Octaprice begins populating your dashboard. This process may take up to 30 seconds as the system compiles and analyzes data.

Step 3: Data Availability​

Your data will fully appear on the dashboard shortly. You will receive a notification once the setup is complete and the data is ready for review.
