Creation of an independent price comparison tool for online shopping in Quebec

Achetezlemeilleur.ca is the shopping magazine for Quebec consumers: more than 250,000 readers a month, according to its site, and a ranking based on price alone, with no brand able to buy its place. Le Filtre is its free comparison tool, which tracks the daily prices of more than 250,000 products at Amazon, Walmart, Canadian Tire and Quebec shops.

Context and challenges

There are discounts almost all the time. Le Filtre wanted to help consumers spot the real ones: a comparison tool that brings merchants together, keeps the price history and warns of price drops. It needed a catalogue that gathers the same product across several merchants, a daily price collection and an integration into Ici On Aime’s WordPress site. The client then took over the code.

What we did

A catalogue that groups merchants

The same product is grouped across several merchants, with its price at each one.

History and alerts

A price history to spot the real discounts, and email alerts.

Integration into the client’s site

The comparison tool is displayed within Ici On Aime’s WordPress site.

French and English, with automatic translation.
