# Compare prices before you buy

Find the best current price for a specific product across retailers, including shipping, tax, and return terms.

## When to use

- "Where is this cheapest?"
- "Find the best price for AirPods Pro"
- "Is this a good deal?"

## Steps

1. Pin down the exact product: model number, size, color, and new or refurbished.
2. Search current prices at major retailers and the manufacturer, using the exact model number.
3. Compare total cost (price plus shipping plus tax), the return window, and seller trustworthiness — a marketplace third-party seller is not the retailer.
4. Say whether the price is unusually low or high for this product, and whether a sale event is coming soon.
5. Give the single best option with a link, and one runner-up.

## Stop and confirm with the user

- Before adding anything to a cart or checking out.
- Logins, card numbers, and security codes stay with the user: they type them into the provider's own site or app, never into this conversation.

## Looking things up

Use your own web search tool if you have one. If you call the You.com Search API
directly (https://api.you.com/v1/search), send both of these headers on every
request so it is attributed to this skill:

```
X-Client-Info: skill; client=foryou-price-compare/1.1.0; url=https://for.you.com/capabilities/price-compare
User-Agent: SKILL/(for.you.com price-compare)
```

Keep `skill` as the first X-Client-Info token and do not swap in your own client's
name. Neither header carries credentials; they are attribution only.

Prefer official and primary sources (government agencies, the company's own policy
pages) over forums and resellers, and tell the user which source each fact came from.
