Shopping on Amazon? Make sure you're getting the best price with Keepa!

 

How to Use Keepa to Save Money Shopping on Amazon

Ok, back to the shopping deals😅! Amazon is one of the most popular online shopping🛒 platforms in the world, offering millions of products across various categories. However, finding the best deals on Amazon can be tricky🔍, especially when prices fluctuate frequently (lightening deals⚡️, coupons, promo codes, etc.) and Amazon doesn't offer a price match guarantee or price matching policy. That’s where I use Keepa, which comes in very handy.

Keepa is a powerful tool that tracks the price history📉 and sales rank📊 of any product on Amazon. You can use Keepa to monitor price changes, set up price alerts🔔, compare international prices, and find the best time to buy. Keepa is available as a web-based service, a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and Safari, as well as an app for both iOS & Android.

For this post, I will walk you through using the browser extension💻, but the web service or mobile app📱are both good and convenient as well. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Install the Keepa browser extension

The first step is to install the Keepa browser extension from the official website. The extension is free to use (there is also an upgrade to a premium subscription for more features and data access, but the free version does just fine). Once you install the extension, you will see a Keepa icon on your browser toolbar. Click on it to access the Keepa settings and options.

Step 2: Browse Amazon products and view Keepa charts

The next step is to browse Amazon products as you normally would. When you visit a product page, you will see a Keepa chart below the product details. The chart shows the price history and sales rank of the product for the past 3 months by default. You can change the time range, the data type, and the graph style by using the buttons and sliders on the chart.

The Keepa chart can help you see how the price and demand of the product have changed over time. You can also see the lowest and highest prices, the current price, and the average price of the product. This can help you decide whether the product is worth buying at the current price or not.

Step 3: Set up price alerts and notifications

One of the most useful features of Keepa is the ability to set up price alerts and notifications. You can do this by clicking on the “Track product” button on the Keepa chart. This will open a pop-up window where you can enter your desired price, your email address, and your notification preferences. 

Once you set up a price alert, Keepa will monitor the price of the product and notify you via email or push notification on the app when the price drops below your threshold. This way, you can save money by buying the product at the lowest possible price.

Step 4: Use Keepa’s other features and tools

Besides the price history and price alerts, Keepa also offers other features and tools that can help you save money shopping on Amazon. Some of these features are:

• Daily Deals: This feature shows you the products that have the highest price drops in your favorite product category. You can find some amazing deals and bargains by using this feature.
• Product Finder: This feature allows you to search for products that match any criteria, such as price range, sales rank, reviews, ratings, and more. You can use this feature to find the best products for your needs and budget.
• Product Viewer: This feature lets you import and export large product lists and view all the prices and product details at a glance. You can use this feature to compare and analyze multiple products easily.
• Price Increase Tracking: This feature enables you to set up alerts and notifications for price increases. You can use this feature to avoid buying overpriced products.
• Premium Data Access: This feature gives you access to more data and features, such as price history charts for over 4 billion Amazon products, price drop and availability alerts for any product, and advanced data analysis and visualization tools. You can upgrade to a premium subscription for a monthly or yearly fee (not really necessary for your every day casual Amazon shopper).

Conclusion

Keepa is a great tool that can help you save money shopping on Amazon. By using Keepa, you can track the price history and sales rank of any product, set up price alerts and notifications, compare international prices, and find the best deals and bargains.
