# Shopify Store Price and Stock Change Alerts

**Use case:** 

Get an alert when a Shopify store changes a price, starts or ends a sale, sells out or restocks a product. The first run saves a baseline; every next run lists only what changed, with the old and new value. Replace the demo store with any Shopify store, then add a daily schedule and a webhook for Slack, n8n or Make.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://theme-dawn-demo.myshopify.com"
    }
  ],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 50,
  "minPriceChangePercent": 0,
  "webhookOnNoChanges": false,
  "reportProductsOnFirstRun": false,
  "includeUnchanged": false,
  "resetBaseline": false,
  "platform": "auto",
  "snapshotStoreName": "store-change-monitor-snapshots",
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "requestDelayMs": 500
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "label": {
    "label": "Change",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "productName": {
    "label": "Product",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "oldDisplay": {
    "label": "Before",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "newDisplay": {
    "label": "Now",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "storeName": {
    "label": "Store",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "message": {
    "label": "Note",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "productUrl": {
    "label": "Product link",
    "format": "link"
  }
}
```

## FAQ

### Why does the first run show no changes?

The first run saves a baseline of every product, so you see one "Baseline saved" row. Run the task again or add a daily schedule: from then on, each run lists only what changed since the previous one.

### How do I monitor a competitor's store instead of the demo?

Replace the demo URL with any Shopify store, collection or product link. WooCommerce stores work too. Keep the same input on every run, so each run compares with the previous one.

### How much does a run cost?

You pay per event: $0.50 per 1,000 products checked and $1.00 per 1,000 changes found. This task checks up to 50 products, so a run costs about $0.03 plus any changes.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/uniano/woocommerce-shopify-price-stock-monitor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
