What is Live search?
Live search reads a store's products for you, finds each one on Amazon and prices it on your own seller account. It keeps the products that pass your filters, so you end up with a list of what's worth buying.
Open the Live search tab on the bar at the top of the web app, next to Plug Picks. On a phone's browser, it's in the menu at the top left. Live search is on the web only, not in the mobile app.
What you need
- A paid Pro plan. Live search isn't part of the free trial. It opens by itself when the trial ends and your first payment goes through.
- Your Amazon seller account connected, selling on amazon.com. Every match, price and fee is worked out on your own account (connecting Amazon). Until it's connected, the tab shows Connect Amazon.
The tabs
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Scan | Start a new scan (starting a scan). |
| Results | Your scans, and what each one found (following a scan). |
| History | Older one-link searches, kept for seven days. |
| Favorites | The products you starred. They stay here for good. |
| Stores | Every store Live search can read, and a form to ask for a new one (stores). |
How a scan works
- Choose a store and its categories, or paste links from one store.
- Set your filters, such as ROI, profit and sales a month (the filters).
- Press Start scan.
The scan reads the store in the background, and you can leave the page. Products that pass your filters show up in Results as Amazon answers on them, and we email you when the scan is done.
Scans are kept for two weeks. Star a product to keep it in Favorites for good.
On other plans
- On Starter or Combo, the tab shows Live search is a Pro feature, with the Pro plan and a button to upgrade.
- During a Pro free trial, it shows Live search is not part of the free trial, and Go to my plan shows when your first payment is due.
