How do they get the inventory of nearby, local stores?
- jcl 18y agoI guess one way would be to require the user to type in the price of the object they're reviewing, to seed the database... although that would only work well for a community with a lot of Android cell phones. Now that I think about it, a database telling which products local people are comparing would be pretty valuable to local stores... They might be willing to trade pricing data for search data? Or a "featured" listing position?
- schmylan 18y agoGoCart gets the local prices from the website itself. Several merchants' websites have a "check local inventory" feature where you supply the zip code to get a list of stores. Check out the video at http://www.biggu.com http://www.biggu.com
