How do I automatically check that my Shopify and Square prices match?
Every morning, WebRun compares your Shopify and Square product prices by SKU, flags any mismatches, and posts a clear discrepancy report to Slack with both prices and the gap shown. No price is changed automatically. Staff see exactly which products to fix and which system is out of date, so corrections take minutes.
- Price mismatches are caught daily before they cause customer complaints
- Staff see exactly which product and which system needs correcting
- No automatic price change happens without a human decision

Questions, answered
Will it update prices in Shopify or Square automatically?
No. WebRun only flags mismatches and reports them in Slack. No price is changed in either system without a staff member making the update manually. This keeps you in control of every pricing decision.
How does it match products across both systems?
It matches by SKU first, and falls back to product name for items without a SKU. For the most reliable results, keep SKUs consistent in both Shopify and Square, which takes only a few minutes to set up.
What if there are always small rounding differences?
You can set a tolerance during setup, for example flag only items where the price differs by more than five cents. Products within the tolerance are skipped so the Slack report stays focused on genuine discrepancies.
