Ecommerce proxy FAQ

Why can the same SKU show different prices?

Currency, tax display, seller, promotion, membership state, delivery location, and cached cookies can all change the result. Store these fields with the observed price.

Should product pages use a sticky session?

A single public product snapshot often works with rotation. Use a short sticky session when cart, delivery, consent, or multi-page state must remain consistent.

Can a proxy prove inventory is truly available?

It records what the storefront returned for a specific market and time. Inventory may change and may depend on delivery address or account state, so preserve the context.

How should bandwidth be controlled?

Prefer HTTP collection for server-rendered fields, block nonessential browser assets, deduplicate URLs, and measure bytes per accepted SKU observation.

Run a controlled ecommerce market sample

Compare a small SKU set across named markets and review evidence, retries, and bytes before scaling catalog coverage.
