@shan_rizvi1 Hi Shan! Happy to hear that we were able to help you know when an item is Instok ;)
Hey y'all! All of us at Instok really believe in this product and how it can help people find the products they need in such an unprecedented and tumultuous time! The feedback and comments we've been getting have been amazing, and we want to thank everyone for checking us out!
Hi everyone,
Over the past few weeks COVID has caused massive problems with inventory shortages and price gouging resellers leading to a bad online shopping experience for the end user. While products like toilet paper and face masks are coming back in stock, the second wave of shortages including PC parts, disinfectants, video games (Nintendo Switch and the Oculus Quest), televisions, laptops, etc is still ongoing and resellers are buying and selling the already limited quantity at really high prices.
We created OctoShop to help solve the current shopping problems and improve the buyer journey during the COVID era. OctoShop does three main things -
1) If you are on a page where a product is out-of-stock or being sold at too high of a price, OctoShop shows you other retailers that have the same product in-stock at cheaper prices.
2) OctoShop lets you set back-in-stock notifications for out-of-stock products. OctoShop will do the hard work of periodically checking the website for you.
3) OctoShop lets you set price drop notifications if a product is being sold at a really high price due to limited quantities.
Hope this helps people find what they need / want during quarantine. And would love feedback and thoughts from the Product Hunt community!
@nick_pat Hey thanks for checking us out, it really means a lot and we hope you can find all the parts you need!
The maximum price feature is a lifesaver! Especially when scouring the web for consumer electronics
@jaideep_patil Hey Jaideep! Thanks for checking us out, we spent a lot of time thinking about how we can optimize our tracking options to improve our user's experience, so we're happy to hear that the extension was able to help you out!
@avner_a_khan Hi Avner, thanks for checking us out! We're working hard to make sure that you continue to have an amazing experience with OctoShop!
OctoShop is easy to use and provides all the necessary information in a concise fashion. Having notifications for price changes on products as well as products coming back into stock is a huge plus! Online shopping is much easier now!
Such a great concept. So needed especially right now with the whole world being out of stock on the essentials.
Thanks to Octoshop, I can now save 30 bucks on my brother's birthday gift, and spend that money on peanut butter to feed my addiction
