How to Track Price Drops on Any Website (Not Just Amazon)

You want to track a price. You Google "price tracker." Every result is the same: Keepa, CamelCamelCamel, Honey. They all do one thing. They track Amazon.

That's fine if Amazon is your entire shopping life. For most people, it's not. You buy running shoes from the brand's own site. Furniture from a boutique store in Copenhagen. Skincare from a Korean retailer your friend swore by. None of those stores show up in Keepa.

The price tracking market has a blind spot the size of the entire internet minus one website.

Why "Any URL" Changes Everything

The retail landscape shifted years ago. Direct-to-consumer brands sell from their own storefronts. International retailers run independent sites. Specialty shops on Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce outnumber Amazon listings in dozens of categories.

When you can only track Amazon, you miss all of it. That espresso machine on the manufacturer's site? Invisible. The Japanese denim brand that sells direct? Can't touch it. The small-batch hot sauce company running a summer sale? Forget it.

A price tracker that works on any website removes the constraint entirely. You stop asking "does this store support tracking?" and start asking "what do I want to buy?"

How Slasher Works

Slasher is a price tracker built for the whole internet. No browser extension. No store restrictions. You paste a URL, and it starts tracking.

Here's the entire workflow:

1. Copy the product URL from any online store.
2. Paste it into Slasher.
3. Slasher scrapes the page, extracts the product name, image, and current price.
4. It checks the price daily.
5. When the price drops, you get an email alert.

That's it. No account linking. No store integrations. No permissions to grant. The product page is public, so Slasher reads it the same way you would.

Under the hood, Slasher uses web scraping to pull structured data from any product page. No retailer APIs. No partnerships. It reads the page, finds the price, and stores it. Every day it checks again and builds a price history so you can see trends over time.

Browser Extensions vs. URL-Based Tracking

Most price trackers ship as browser extensions. That creates three problems.

Problem one: they only work in your browser. Find a product on your phone? You can't add it. See a link in a group chat? You have to remember to open it on your laptop later. The extension is chained to one device, one browser.

Problem two: permissions. Browser extensions request access to your browsing data. Some want to read every page you visit. That's a steep trade for a price tracker. You wanted to save money, not hand over your browsing history.

Problem three: store compatibility. Extensions inject code into web pages. When a store changes its layout, the extension breaks. Developers maintain compatibility lists. If your store isn't on the list, it doesn't work.

Slasher sidesteps all three. It runs as a mobile-first web app. You paste a URL from any device. No extension to install, no permissions to grant, no compatibility list to check. If a product page has a price on it, Slasher can track it.

Step by Step: Tracking Your First Product

Getting started takes thirty seconds.

Step 1: Find something you want to buy. Browse any online store. Find a product. Maybe it's a pair of boots that costs more than you'd like to pay right now.

Step 2: Copy the URL. Grab the product page URL from your browser's address bar. On mobile, tap the share button and copy the link.

Step 3: Paste it into Slasher. Open Slasher, paste the URL into the input field, and hit track. Slasher visits the page, pulls the product details, and confirms the current price.

Step 4: Set your target. Decide what price would make you buy. Set an alert threshold. Slasher will notify you when the price hits that number.

Step 5: Wait. Slasher checks the price every day. When it drops, you get an email. No manual checking. No need to remember the product exists.

You can track products across as many stores as you want, with plan limits based on how many items you need to watch at once. Your dashboard shows them in one place with sparkline charts so you can spot pricing patterns at a glance.

What People Track Beyond Amazon

Once the "any website" constraint disappears, tracking gets interesting. Here are the categories where Slasher gets the most use.

Direct-to-consumer brands. Companies like Allbirds, Glossier, and Away sell from their own sites. They run sales on their own schedule. No Amazon price tracker will catch a 20% off event on a DTC brand's storefront.

International retailers. Buying from a store in another country? Prices fluctuate with currency exchange rates and regional promotions. Tracking lets you buy at the right moment without obsessing over exchange rates yourself.

Niche and specialty stores. Camera gear from B&H. Cycling components from Chain Reaction. Craft supplies from independent shops. These stores have dynamic pricing and periodic sales that reward patience.

Luxury and fashion. High-end brands rarely sell on Amazon. Their own sites and authorized retailers run end-of-season sales with steep markdowns. Timing matters, and tracking removes the guesswork.

Home and furniture. Sites like Article, Floyd, and CB2 run sales that can save hundreds of dollars on a single piece. Furniture purchases are large enough that a 15% price drop pays for itself.

Electronics from manufacturer sites. Dell, Lenovo, and others run deals on their own storefronts that don't appear on Amazon. Corporate discount pages and education pricing add another layer of savings.

Groceries and supplements. Subscription brands for coffee, protein powder, and vitamins adjust prices more often than you'd think. Tracking catches those adjustments.

The pattern is clear. The internet is full of stores. Amazon is one of them. A price tracker should cover all of them.

Stop Overpaying Because Your Tools Are Too Narrow

The average online product changes price multiple times per month. Without tracking, you're guessing.

Browser extensions lock you into one browser, one device, and a handful of supported stores. Amazon-only trackers ignore the majority of online retail. Neither approach matches how people shop in 2026.

Slasher takes a different approach. Paste any URL. Track any product. Get alerts when prices drop. It works on your phone, your laptop, any store with a product page.

Next time you find something you want but don't need right now, copy the URL. Paste it into Slasher. Let the tracker do the waiting.
