Is Tmall feeling guilty during Double 11? Price comparison software Huihui Shopping Assistant is “silenced”

Huihui Shopping Assistant helps users to provide historical prices of e-commerce products and compare prices horizontally. I believe that many users of such price comparison software are ready to rely on "smart eyes" to identify unscrupulous merchants who secretly raise prices before Double 11.

Under normal circumstances, users who have installed the shopping assistant can directly view the historical price trends of specified products on the web page. However, according to Huihui's Weibo, it was obviously the resistance from Taobao that caused this function to fail.

Although Alibaba announced before Double 11 that it would severely punish merchants who first raised prices and then lowered them, Huihui's temporary "silencing" still shows that Tmall and Taobao are somewhat lacking in confidence. Huihui said that it would restore the price comparison and price trend functions before November 16 at the latest. From this point of view, Huihui's castration of this function is controllable.

Industry insiders said that this just shows that it has reached a tacit understanding with Alibaba in certain aspects, which shows Alibaba's "public relations" ability.

Huihui stated on its official Weibo account that the affected function is limited to "displaying historical prices on the web page" and that price trend charts can still be obtained by searching for Taobao products on Huihui.com or the App.

After actual testing, if you put the product in the shopping cart, the historical price of the product will also be displayed. Therefore, those who are interested will not be cheated by unscrupulous merchants.

In addition, other price comparison plug-ins have not been reported to have malfunctions, so impatient shoppers can also use them. Take the above tips without thanks, I am Lei Feng.
