Use case — ecommerce monitoring

Scrape ecommerce stock, prices, and SKUs from any store

Track inventory, prices, and availability across Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and custom carts. Stekpad survives the DOM changes that break other scrapers.

The problem

Why your current scraper doesn't cut it

Ecommerce intelligence — tracking competitor stock, watching for price changes, monitoring restocks — is table stakes for any DTC brand or reseller. The dedicated tools charge per SKU, per store, or per run. And they all break the second a store redesigns its product template.

Stekpad scrapes a product page once and learns the pattern. When the store redesigns, the Gemma selector engine re-learns automatically. You get a resilient price + stock feed for any store, at flat monthly pricing.

Step-by-step

How to do it with Stekpad

  1. 1

    Open a product page on any ecommerce store

    Works on Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Prestashop, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce, and every custom React/Next.js headless store.
  2. 2

    Click the price, stock status, or SKU

    Stekpad detects the product template and highlights every matching field. Typical capture: title, price, compare-at price, stock status, SKU, variant, image.
  3. 3

    Apply the recipe to a full catalog page

    Open the category/collection page, run the same recipe, and Stekpad captures every product in the grid with full attributes.
  4. 4

Is Web Scraping Legal in 2026? A Practical Guide

Authoritative legal overview covering: hiQ v. LinkedIn (public data scraping is generally lawful in the US), CFAA limits (don't bypass authentication mechanisms you weren't authorized to access), GDPR considerations for EU personal data, robots.txt (advisory, not legally binding), and ToS clauses (civil risk, not criminal). Structured as a decision tree: if you're scraping public data → generally fine; if behind a login → only safe if it's your own session; if personal data of EU citizens → add anonymization. Positions Stekpad's browser-native model as the lowest-risk technical approach.
