Start with the same product
Different suppliers often use different SKUs for the same item. Map each source's supplier code and available EAN or GTIN values, then review the offers associated with the product you want to buy. Supplier-specific codes remain attached to their offers so the original reference stays available.
Check the product and packaging before treating two prices as comparable. Similar descriptions can refer to different variants or quantities. A product identifier helps establish the comparison; it does not turn an unclear supplier description into a confirmed match.
Read price, currency and minimum order together
Offer comparisons use one currency at a time. Feednaro keeps the recorded currency instead of converting unlike prices into a single ranking. Lowest unit price excludes VAT and delivery; it is a starting point for reviewing offers rather than a calculation of the complete cost of your purchase.
Each offer retains its own minimum order. A lower unit price can require more units than you need, while a slightly higher price may fit a smaller order. Keep those terms beside the price when deciding which supplier to contact.
| Supplier | Unit price | Minimum order | Supplier availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example Supplier A | EUR 11.80 | 24 units | 240 units |
| Example Supplier B | EUR 12.40 | 6 units | 180 units |
Keep supplier availability in its proper context
Use the in-stock comparison to focus on offers reporting availability. The figure comes from the supplier's feed and belongs to that supplier's offer. It describes what the source reported at its last successful read; your own warehouse inventory remains a separate record.
Before placing an order, check the supplier's current terms and confirmation. Feednaro organizes imported offers for review. It does not reserve the supplier's goods or place a purchase order when you compare a price.
Make freshness part of the comparison
A failed refresh keeps earlier offer values and their original successful-read timestamps. Delayed, paused and unimported sources are excluded from current lowest-price calculations. Offers awaiting verification after relevant settings changes also stay outside that calculation, so an old value does not quietly become today's best offer.
Open the source's import activity to understand a warning, then follow recorded price history to review earlier observations. This gives the current comparison a useful trail: which supplier supplied the offer, when it was read and how its price has changed across successful imports.
