Staying informed about prices on Amazon is key to getting a good deal.
Amazon and other large companies have been in a price battle for years – resulting in Amazon continually lowering their prices to stay competitive with other retailers.
If you want to get the most out of your Amazon shopping or selling experience, monitoring product prices is key.
Don’t waste your time manually refreshing pages – let a price tracker do it for you!

Go to amazon.com and capture the desired page URL.
Step 2: Select the Hexowatch Visual Monitor
Go to your Hexowatch.com dashboard, click New Monitor and from the monitors’ list, select Visual monitoring. This monitor enables you to choose to add a single URL or bulk URLs to monitor.
Step 3: Insert the page URL in Hexowatch
Next, insert the captured Amazon product listings page URL in Hexowatch. Then click Preview.
Step 4: Start Monitoring
Now, you can set your monitoring preferences. For example, choose the sensitivity, the frequency of checks, proxy mode (Data center/Residential GEO), desired notification channels, and more.
Then, click Start Monitoring.
Step 5: View and save the detected changes
Once any visual changes have been detected, you can view them in the Monitored URLs section of Hexowatch.
You can then export the changes to Google Sheets or CSV.
How to get price drop alerts with HTML Element monitor
Once you find your desired Amazon product you tend to buy it at the lowest possible price.
However, to catch the moment and buy it with a big sale, you need to daily check the product page manually.
The Hexowatch HTML monitor, can monitor the prices of your desired products and alert you any time the price drops.
Step 1: Capture the desired Amazon product page URL(s)

Next, insert the captured Amazon product page URL in Hexowatch. Then click Preview.
Step 4: Start Monitoring
Once the page has loaded, you can select and click on any field from the page to track and monitor the area for changes. Once you have selected the area to monitor, choose the sensitivity and how frequently the page should be checked.
In this case, we will select the price and click Show element HTML code.
Then, click Select with Conditions.
Next, specify the necessary condition. So, add the selected data (the current price of the product), the condition (Less than), and the maximum price.
Save the condition.
Then, click Start Monitoring.
Step 5: View and save the detected changes
Once any HTML code changes in the pricing of the product have been detected, you can view them in the Monitored URLs section of Hexowatch.
