Features of Automated Comparisons Libraries in Commerce

What are Price Comparisons?

Price Comparisons allow you to create a comparison of a given product across a variety of merchants to give your readers more buying options within your content. With Price Comparisons, you can:

• Design with the flexibility you need

• Add multiple offers for a given product

• Increase clicks and conversion

• Boost your revenue

With a Price Comparison, you give your readers more power to make an informed decision in their purchases for the products you love.

What are Automated Comparisons Libraries?

The Automated Comparisons Libraries are an automated way to curate the content you've already written (and will write!) to place Price Comparisons organically and seamlessly. 

With the Automated Libraries, your Price Comparisons will appear automatically within content based on the links already existing in the content. Unlike traditional Price Comparisons, which require you to create one at a time, this solution will scale with your content. 

What are some key features of Price Comparisons?

Create Curated Widgets for your Readers

Price Comparisons offer a wide range of ways to display affiliate links within your content for a given product. Choose from creating a table of products, a list, or even text that you can easily embed into your content.

Get Up-to-Date Product Information

Price Comparisons empowers your users to see accurate product information quickly and easily. Product listings will modify to showcase deals, sale prices, and product availability throughout the day.

Entirely Automated Set-and-Forget Solution

Automated Libraries enable you to curate your Price Comparison once, then continue to publish content without needing to ever think about making a price comparison widget ever again. 

Easy Customization to Match your Brand

Price Comparisons offer a ton of options to customize your widgets, including prioritizing certain merchants, editing the raw code of your widgets, and allowing a variety of tracking parameters to see how your readers engage with your content. Make a template that matches your branding and apply it to all your Price Comparisons. 

Is there an Automated Library for Shopping Galleries?

At this time, there is only an automated library solution available for Price Comparisons. We hope to eventually create something scalable for your Shopping Galleries in the near future! For reference on how Shopping Galleries work, check out this article.

What are the requirements for the Automated Comparisons?

You will need to ensure that you can edit the code on your page. The Price Comparison widget will only appear with the JavaScript live on the page. If you do not have the ability to modify the code on your publication, you will not be able to publish Price Comparisons.
