3 secrets that would make your online shopping experience magical

Hi,
    A very warm welcome to this article to the 7000 strong Rodinhood community. Most of the community members here do frequent online shopping sites. But there are a lot of pain points that are frequently encountered while shopping online. 

– you have to compare prices to get the best price
– you dont know whether it is the best time to buy a product. 
– offers given by portals are misleading. 
– You want to buy it from a particular store but then you dont know when the price will drop

  We have developed a google chrome extension that would enhance and simplify your online shopping experience countering all these pain points. ( We also have amazing mobile apps with all these features. Android, ios and windows

The extension helps you set price drop alerts for your favorite products on major portals like amazon, flipkart, snapdeal etc. 

How to monitor price changes?

I recently got a price drop of INR 6700 on a Dolce & Gabbana shirt I was planning to buy with the watch price functionality

Pic 1: The price of the product was Rs 15749. Too heavy for my pocket but my eyes were set on this. So I clicked the watch price button the extension offered. And boom what happened 2 days later was like magic. 

The price of the product had dropped by Rs 6700 and was now available just for Rs 9000. I immediately hit the buy button and completed the purchase.

How to find the best price?

Now the next consideration comes if we are not store conscious and want the best price. This extension solves that challenge as well. Powered by the ingenious algorithm working behind buyhatke.com it also helps you see price comparison for a product from 50 major stores offering the product. 

And when I tried seeing price comparison for a few products I was astonished. Saw a price difference of over 6K for a Samsung galaxy note 3.

Recently a sweet lady running a centre for kids in Mumbai saved Rs 2500 on her purchase of lego blocks. She was scouting for deals and offers for 7 days to purchase lego blocks. See her post below. 

And boom see what happens the next day. She saves 2500 Rs on the purchase of the lego blocks and is absolutely ecstatic so was the team behind the extension seeing such happy customers.

 How to find whether it is the best time to buy?

So now you can set price alerts and also do price comparison. We dont stop at that, the extension also lets you see price variation for a product over a period of time. So you can see how the price of a product varied over the last few days. So seeing the price variation you can know whether it is the best time to buy a product or not. 

Finally it advises you whether it is best time to make a purchase or not taking into account upcoming festivities, offers and previous point data. 

And our price comparison generally offers much better results than established comparison portals. You can check the comparison. See here an established comparison portal whom Alok sir praised previously is giving the price of the product as 4835. Our comparison shows it is available at 4 places for much cheaper price.You can try for yourself scanning into major comparison portals.

4) Getting discount coupons: 

Finding discount coupons while shopping is a very frustrating process. Many times the coupons don’t work, they are expired and sometimes you get a low discount coupon. This is after spending half on hour on searching and trying them out. It just kills the joy of shopping. We have automated that completely. You would get an apply coupon button at the end of the checkout on all major portals that provide coupons (myntra, jabong, shopclues, ebay, homeshop18, snapdeal). Not only online shopping portals this magic button also works on travel sites like makemytrip, cleartrip, yatra and fooding sites like dominos and foodpanda. Just click the button and it would automatically fetch all the best coupons from around the internet and apply them automatically at the checkout and show you the discounted cart value.

I would like to seek feedback from the community about the extension and any improvements that we can make. The extension right now has 27000 users with 4.52 average rating on chromestore. 

We also seek advice on how this brilliant extension can be made to reach the masses. Its been 5 months since the launch of the extension and we only have 27000 users. No such extension exists with all these features. 

People have praised this extension a lot. You can see all the user stories here andhere 

So what are you waiting for. Ride on the ultimate shopping experience with Comparehatke 

If you have an iphone we have an ios app with all these features for you.
