This quickstart takes you from installation to active price monitoring in six steps. The app also shows a setup guide that walks you through the most important steps — with a YouTube tutorial and a Request setup help button that loops in support directly.
1

Choose a market

Decide which marketplace PricePirate pulls offers and price data from. In shops with multiple markets, you manage the markets and the market for price changes in Settings under Markets. Some marketplaces are only available with assisted setup — contact support in that case.
2

Add products

Use the Add products button to select the products or a collection from your Shopify catalog that PricePirate should monitor. See Add products for details.
3

Connect listings

Connect each product to the matching marketplace listing, per market. For activation later, the listing on the market for price changes is what counts. See Connect listings for how the modal works.
4

Add your shop name

Enter your own marketplace shop name so PricePirate can tell your own offer apart from competitors’. You enter the Own shop name in Settings; in shops with multiple markets you maintain it per market in the Markets table.
5

Assign a pricing strategy

In the Product settings, assign a pricing strategy to your products and set its limits such as the minimum and maximum price in the strategy settings. Without a strategy you can still activate monitoring, but no price changes are calculated.
6

Activate price monitoring

In the Product settings, switch on price monitoring. This is possible once a product has a connected listing on the market for price changes and your shop name is set for that market.
The in-app setup guide condenses this setup into four guided steps (market, products, shop name, pricing strategy). It is a shortcut through the key points — this quickstart explains the full order.

​
After setup

Don’t switch on auto-apply right away. First check that everything runs as expected:
  1. Wait for the first sync. After activation, PricePirate pulls the first market data. See Synchronization for how syncs run.
  2. Review price changes. Look at the suggested changes in the review list and apply individual ones manually.
  3. Test your strategy. Check your strategy against current listing data, as described under Test a strategy.
  4. Only then enable auto-apply. Once listings, strategy, and price limits are verified, enable auto-apply.
