Price-drop alerts

How can I get a price or restock alert for clothes and sneakers?

Start a Hunt in Remode’s iPhone app for a piece you want at a lower price or second-hand. It can also spot a restock when the piece was confirmed sold out; to tell you about your size, Remode needs to read the shop’s stock for that size.

Browser photo search, no account needed: new matches. Second-hand options show up in the iPhone app.

Start with a photo

Remode detects pieces in an outfit photo, including wide-leg brown trousers.

How to find the piece

  1. Find the specific product and start a Hunt in the iPhone app. Choose the criteria offered and confirm the Hunt was created.
  2. Check whether your size and color were actually applied. If the shop’s size stock cannot be read, keep the shop’s own size notification too.
  3. Allow iPhone notifications and review the Hunt’s findings. Open the retailer to confirm the recorded price, stock and size before buying.

What to know

Hunts need a Remode account. You can also start them and ask for findings in ChatGPT with a linked account. The website chat cannot start Hunts. Saving alone does not start one, and no restock or alert time is promised.

When a Hunt helps you wait

You found the sneakers you want, but today’s price is more than you want to spend. Or the jacket is sold out and you do not want to reopen the same page every day. A Hunt lets you ask Remode to keep looking for that specific piece in the iPhone app. Start it yourself and check the confirmation; saving the item alone does not start the search.

Keep the product link and the variant details with your request. A model name can cover different colors, materials or editions, and their prices need not move together. If you want the blue pair, a lower price on the black pair is a different offer. Give the Hunt the piece you mean, then read what it actually confirmed.

Before deciding to wait, think about when you need the piece. For an event with a fixed date, having the right size in time may matter more than a possible lower price. Remode cannot predict the next markdown or promise a future listing. You choose whether to wait, check alternatives or buy the offer that works for you today.

Read the finding before opening the shop

A Hunt finding tells you what Remode recorded at a check. It is a reason to open the listing, not a reservation. The price or availability may have changed by the time you visit. Check the product, color and selected size at the shop, then look at the amount you would actually pay.

Size matters especially for a restock. A product page being available again does not mean that every size is back. Remode needs readable stock information from the store for a size-specific claim. If it cannot read that information, the Hunt may continue without your size applied. Read the confirmation and keep the shop’s own size notification when it is useful.

Treat second-hand findings as a separate buying choice. The same model can have wear, repairs or missing accessories, and a seller’s like-new description is still a seller’s statement. Look at photographs and measurements. Compare condition and return terms alongside the price instead of assuming a used piece is equivalent to a new one.

Keep the Hunt close to what you want

Use the specific product and the criteria available in the app. Check whether the color and size you gave were applied. If the confirmation does not include a size, do not assume that later findings will prove stock in that size. A product-level search and a size-level restock are different things.

Allow iPhone notifications if you want to receive them, and open the Hunt to review its findings. You can also ask for updates in ChatGPT with a linked Remode account. The website chat cannot start a Hunt. An assistant’s reminder is not the same as a confirmed Hunt saved in Remode.

At the retailer, add delivery, import fees and any marketplace charges to the item price. Check the currency and what a return would cost. A lower number beside the piece is useful, but it is not the full cost of receiving it or sending it back if the fit is wrong.

What waiting cannot promise

A Hunt cannot promise that a cheaper offer or your size will appear. It also cannot promise how soon a finding arrives. A shop may remove a page, a resale seller may sell the only piece, and a coupon at checkout may not appear in the recorded item price. Keep those limits in mind when you have a deadline.

If you no longer want the piece, stop its Hunt. If a finding is only a visual or similar match, read it as that alternative rather than a confirmed price for the original. The match label stays separate from the price, even when the number is tempting. You decide whether that other piece fits your request.

Common questions

Will a sold-out jacket come back in my size?

Remode cannot promise a restock. A size can be confirmed against stock only where the store’s own per-size information can be read. A general restock is not proof that your size is available; check the Hunt confirmation and the retailer.

Where do I receive alerts?

Use the iPhone app’s Hunts and notification permission. In ChatGPT, link a Remode account and ask for Hunt updates. Those are findings saved in Remode, not a ChatGPT scheduled reminder. The website chat cannot start monitoring or send Hunt alerts.

Does saving a sneaker start a price alert?

No. Start a Hunt explicitly and check the confirmation. Saving keeps the piece; monitoring is a separate action. Your account’s available Hunt capacity and paid terms are shown in the app.

What do Exact, Same model, Best visual match and Similar mean?

Exact needs product proof, such as the same product code. Same model still leaves color, size and condition to check. Best visual match looks close but is not confirmed as the same product. Similar is an alternative. A lower price does not change the label.

Are shipping and import fees included in the price?

No. These are item prices, before shipping and import fees. Check currency, size and stock at the shop too. A lower item price can cost more at checkout. Remode takes your country into account, but you still need to check delivery to your address.
