iPrice lets you find the best deals online in one place

Malaysians are getting spoilt for choice when it comes to online shopping. There are plenty of online stores but how would you know if you’re getting the best deal online? That’s where iPrice comes in.

Not only do they compare pricing from various stores but it also cuts down your shopping time by up to 80%. You can probably think of it as the SkyScanner for online shopping.

Search all offers on one site

From its media event today, iPrice is introducing a couple of new features to improve your shopping experience. When searching for a product, the iPrice search engine now adds a layer of segregation where you can filter your results by colours, sizes, memory capacity and more according to your preference. This is practical for multi-variant products especially smartphones.

Getting a price comparison on the surface is only half the picture. For a more in-depth comparison, iPrice is also showing additional costs including shipping or delivery charges. It also displays estimated shipping time and payment options for greater clarity without landing on the merchant’s site.

While the new enhancements offer a better overview of all items available, it doesn’t take into account special deal or extra discounts which require voucher/promo code. You can still find voucher or coupon deals on a separate tab on iPrice but it could have been better if it was integrated with its current search engine.

According to iPrice, the top 3 consumer concerns about online shopping are authenticity, security and hidden costs. As an added protection, iPrice has a dedicated acquisition team which scrutinises its merchants for the quality of listing and payment options available. They have also taken necessary steps to ensure that only genuine and authentic products are listed on iPrice.

More consumers are shopping online

The folks at iPrice had also shared a couple of interesting insights on online shopping with South East Asia as the fastest growing region in the world. According to a recent study by Google and Temasek, eCommerce is expected to grow from US$6 billion to US$90 billion by 2025.

Among the countries in the region, Malaysia has one of the fastest delivery with 22% of orders received within 2 days and 23% of orders within 4 days. When it comes to paying, card payments are still popular in Malaysia at 61% as opposed to cash at 26% of total transactions.

Trying out iPrice

In normal circumstances, the iPrice search function works fine and you can quickly compare various offers for the same product. This saves time as you can compare at a glance without the need of searching repeatedly on different sites. If you find what you want, just click to proceed with the transaction on the respective online store.

Sometimes the search engine could return a different result from what you’re looking for. When we tried searching for Galaxy Note7, it returned a couple of odd listings and we had to scroll a little further to find the actual device. This is certainly an area that iPrice might want to improve.

To compare the latest offers online, you can try searching over at iPrice Malaysia.
