For shop owners
If PriceproofBot showed up in your logs: hello. We record public prices so shoppers can see whether a sale is a sale. Shops with honest pricing come out of this looking good - a list price that matches the 30-day low gets a green REAL stamp on every check.
How we read your shop
- Only the endpoints you publish for machines: the product feed (
/products.json, WooCommerce Store API), your product sitemap and the schema.org product data on product pages. - robots.txt first, always. A 403 or 429 pauses us for 24 hours. No proxies, no disguised client.
- One full read every 30 minutes at most; single pages a few per minute with pauses, usually far less.
- Your shop is read once, no matter how many people track it.
Want to be listed accurately?
Tell us about a product feed we should use instead, a launch you would like watched, or a price we got wrong: priceproof.contact@gmail.com. We answer within one working day.
Prefer not to be included?
Add this to your robots.txt, or write to priceproof.contact@gmail.com from an address at your shop's domain:
