Well, I use Google. Just type "buy laptop" say, and Google gives images, price, details etc. from various shopping websites.
This gives me a fair idea before making the final purchase.

What do you mean.
When search for a producto I use google usually.
Or try entering in the platform I think is the best for me for that article.
In each platform I need to revise the shopping I made. So I would like to integrate somewhere. That is why I am asking for software.
At the present moment I use folders or markers to find my products.

Well all platforms have different logic of display and information. Maybe someone can make it for NANY.

I suppose so Anandcoral, but I think is not an easy project.

 :-\ :-* :P

Note : If the articles are registers in a database requires integration and coordinated information.

Do you mean this:

Here in Germany, idealo.de is starting to setup something along these lines. You search for your product and they [are starting to] offer to process payments. Fwiw their listings, and those of e.g. geizahls.de overlap but are different.

As you say contro, this is no small job. I think if the software or website existed that would do this in Spain, you would know about it.

Oído cocina !
I will solve with the old system. A folder organized with the platforms and links. Many links. And a menu type ahk for linking better.
As you say probably we will not have a free software for this.
In fact I am seeing this type of measures in my area :

https://guanxe.com/es/
https://canariasprime.com/

these platforms of platforms will try also solve some of the problems in my area : far and ultra pericity or something like that.
Some platforms don't arrive in Tenerife.

Sounds like you're planning a lot of shopping Contro.

For big decisions I generally make a spreadsheet to compare products (e.g. I have one for speakers atm).

Re price, (depending on the product) I generally look in amazon, ebay, and one or two shopping / comparison sites. That's it for me. Can't really see why anyone would want or need more. The way you describe it, sounds like you need a database program / info-manager (?)
