You can use Shopping Insights and price tracking in Google Chrome to monitor product prices and decide the best time to buy.
To begin, open Chrome and search for a product using Google Search. When viewing product listings or a product page, you may see Shopping Insights, which indicate whether the current price is low, typical, or high based on historical data.
If supported, you may also see a Track price option (often shown as a bell icon). Tap it to start tracking that product.
Once enabled, Chrome will monitor the item’s price and notify you if it drops. Notifications are usually linked to your Google Account, so make sure you are signed in.
To manage tracked products, open Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, and check sections like Bookmarks or shopping-related areas (availability may vary by version).
Keep in mind that this feature may not be available for all products or regions, and functionality on iOS can be more limited compared to desktop or Android.
For best results, ensure you are signed in and have sync enabled so your tracked items and alerts work across your devices.
To use the price tracking, insights features and receive notifications, you must:
- Live in the US.
- Sign in to Chrome with your Google Account.
- Sync your history.
