Tracking Product Variant Prices

With Prisync, you can track product variant prices. If the website provides a unique URL for each product variant (for example, the product link changes when you select a different size, color, or model), you should add each variant link separately.

This ensures each variant is tracked accurately with its own price and availability data.

 

However, if the website does not change the URL when switching between variants, you can use our Product Variant Handling feature, which is available starting from the Premium plan.

 

In this case, you’ll need to add a variant tracking parameter to the end of each URL. The format is #X, where X represents the variant’s position on the page (top to bottom, left to right).

 

Let’s look at the four most common variant listing types and how Prisync can handle each of these variant price tracking cases seamlessly.

 

 

Variants listed as clickable options

 

To track Banana flavour, we need to add #2 to the end of the URL
i.e. https://www.example.com/products/xyzmilk#2

 

 

Variants listed in a dropdown menu

 

To track 5kg, we need to add #3 to the end of the URL
i.e. https://www.example.com/products/xyzproduct#3

 

Note: If the first option is “Choose size”, count it as #0 and number the actual selectable options starting at #1.

 

 

Variants listed as separate rows

 

To track 25ml, we need to add #1 to the end of the URL
i.e. https://www.example.com/products/xyzperfume#1

 

 

Multiple variants available

For multiple variants, you may add a dash between each variant, i.e. #X-X

 

To track Chocolate flavour & 500ml, we need to add #3-2 to the end of the URL
i.e. https://www.example.com/products/xyzmilk#3-2
