Overview

Problem
• You're comparing products across multiple retail sites, but it's slow to find cheaper or related options.
• Search results often depend on how each site structures pages, making it inconsistent and time‑consuming.
• Right when you find something interesting, you still need a quick way to check alternatives on Amazon.

Solution
Price Scout adds a small, unobtrusive banner on selected shopping sites. One click opens a relevant Amazon search in a new tab, helping you spot cheaper or related options faster. It also adds a right‑click shortcut: highlight any product name on any website, then select "Search on Amazon."

How it works
•Banner Overlay: On selected stores, a small corner banner appears with "See cheaper or related options?" Clicking it opens a pre‑filled Amazon search based on the page (product title, search box, or page title).
• Right‑Click Search: Highlight any text anywhere → right‑click → "Search on Amazon" to instantly open results in a new tab.
• Control Where It Appears: In the extension popup, you can add or remove domains so the banner shows only on the stores you choose.

Key features
• One‑click comparison: Quickly check Amazon for cheaper or related options.
• Smart query detection: Uses visible product titles, search inputs, or page titles to build the search.
• Works on modern sites: Handles pages that change without reloading; the banner updates as you navigate.
• Simple allowlist control: Add/remove stores from the popup to tailor where the banner appears.
• Right‑click anywhere: Turn any highlighted text into an Amazon search.
• Clean, lightweight design: Minimal UI with a small, dismissible banner.

Designed to be unobtrusive
• The banner is compact, lives in a corner, and can be dismissed.
• Uses a familiar color theme for clarity and legibility.

Who it's for
• Shoppers who want a fast, consistent way to check alternatives.
• Deal‑hunters looking for quick price checks without complex tools.

Getting started
• Install Price Scout.
• Visit one of your selected stores; click the banner to explore options.
• Optional: open the extension popup to add or remove stores.
• Highlight text anywhere and right‑click "Search on Amazon" for instant results.
