What other features does Zyft Extension have?
Zyft was primarily designed as a browser extension to help you compare prices when you shop online.
You can use the Zyft browser extension on your desktop or Safari mobile. You can also access some new Zyft features via the Zyft app on Android and iOS devices.
When you shop online on your desktop, the Zyft panel pops out showing a list of Zyft-identified retailers that stock that product. Where Zyft has information from the retailer, Zyft shows the current price and whether that item is in stock. But Zyft can do so much more, so let’s explore some of the features and functionality of your new shopping assistant!
If you're shopping on Safari mobile, the Zyft icon will be displayed at the bottom of your screen. To see the full Zyft panel, simply tap on the "Z" icon.
Best Matches - This tab lists products that most closely match the one you clicked on when shopping. The list is sorted by lowest to highest price by default.
Price range - The price range from Zyft-identified retailers is shown at the top of the Zyft panel, so you can get excited about the potential savings!
Share - Found an amazing deal you just have to share? Hit the Share button on a single product to spread the love!
Similar Products - This tab is a great place to look for savings - for example, if you don't have a colour preference for your item and you're just looking for a better deal, then check out the Similar Products list. Some colours aren't as popular so they go on sale!
Stock Levels - You'll find In Stock or Out Of Stock under the product details. Occasionally, we can't get this information from a retailer so stock level may be missing.
Real-time price status - Check how current the price is by looking under the listed price on the Zyft panel. Updated Now means this is as current as it gets. Updating Price indicates that Zyft is in the process of getting the latest price. Queued means - well, literally waiting, hold on a second! Occasionally you'll see Updated 3+hrs which means we were unable to get an updated price from that website at the time you searched, so the price you see is the latest price we could find.
Filter options - To sort the results by price or stock level, click on the filter button next to the Similar Products tab.
Trending price - To see the price trend at a specific retailer on the results list for your selected product, click on the "Trend" button to see the price history (where available).
Pick a side to display Zyft - Prefer Zyft to pop out on the other side of your desktop screen? Click on the small box with an arrow in the top right, and hey presto! The Zyft panel magically moves to the other side of your screen.
Refurbished product toggle - Don't want to see refurbished products in the results? No problem, use the toggle to turn off refurbished products and they'll be hidden from the results.
Stock level toggle - If you only want to see retailers that currently have your product in stock, use the In-stock Only toggle to hide all Out of Stock retailers. Note that we rely on the stock level information from the retailer site and cannot guarantee accuracy.
Thumbs up / down - Let us know if you like the results or if you have any issues with the results by clicking on the thumbs up/down. Our AI is constantly learning and if the results don't match your expectations, we'd like to know.
X marks the spot - Ok, so it's not treasure, but you can close the Zyft panel whenever you like by clicking on the X in the top right. To re-open the panel, click on the Z icon.
Zyft has other functionality as well - see Related Articles in the FAQs to learn more about Zyft's Search and Barcode scanner functions.
