Price Guard will initially only import your items, no repricing etc. will be enabled until you choose which items you'd like to be repriced.

Creating your account

You may sign up to Price Guard using either your eBay or Shopify account. When you sign up, you will need to authorise Price Guard to import your items.

The trial will import only the first 500 or so active items for you to start testing the features. If you upgrade to a full account, all items, including inactive items will be imported into your account.

Price Guard supports linking multiple eBay or Shopify accounts, so you can add more later if you wish.

My items

Your items will be shown in a table like below. All items (500 limit on trial) are imported, and you choose from them which you'd like to enable for repricing. You can use the search and filters to show only certain items.

1. Item name, SKU and some other information.
