Price drop & restock watch
Not buying it at that price? Pally watches the listing and texts you the moment it drops or comes back.
Some purchases are just a waiting game. Send pally the link and your price, and it checks the listing so you don't have to: a text arrives when the price drops, the sale starts, or the sold-out item is back.
The routine
How it works
Send pally the link and the condition that would make you buy: a target price, a percentage off, or simply back in stock. Name the exact variant, because a sale on the wrong color is not news. Pally confirms the current price and what it is watching for.
From then on, the checking is pally's job. It revisits the listing on your behalf and stays quiet while nothing has changed. There is no tab to keep open, no daily manual check, and no price-tracker account to create.
When the condition is met, you get a text with the fact that matters: the new price, whether your size or variant is actually available, and the link to act on it. If you would rather not do the checkout yourself, ask pally to run it and approve the total before anything is ordered.
The watch stays adjustable in the same thread. Raise the target if you get impatient, add a second retailer for the same item, ask what the price has done since you started, or call it off because you bought something else. Each watch ends when you say it does.

Common questions
How is this different from price scout?+
Price scout is for the moment before you buy: a one-time sweep for the same item cheaper elsewhere. This recipe is for the waiting game, watching one listing over days or weeks until the price or stock changes in your favor.
What exactly triggers a text?+
The condition you set: a price below your number, any drop, a sale starting, or the item returning to stock in your variant. Pally stays quiet in between, so a text from a watch always means something changed.
Can pally buy it when the price hits?+
It can, with your approval. Tell pally to run the checkout when the target is met and it prepares the order and shows you the exact total first — or it can just send the link and leave the buying to you.
