About price tracking on Google Shopping
When you browse for a product on Google Shopping, you'll see a "Track price" option where you can choose the price you'd like to pay for the item.
You'll get a confirmation that your price tracking is set up, and Google will monitor the price for you. When there's a drop that is at or below your desired price, you’ll receive an email notification, and/or a notification from your Android phone or the Google Search App on iOS. An estimated total cost, with shipping and taxes included, will be shown so you know the full price.
Tips:
- Price tracking focuses solely on the actual item price. It does not include shipping and taxes.
- Prices on some merchants’ websites may be dynamic and subject to change over time.
