Groccr Just Got Superpowers: The Chrome Extension That Knows What You're Shopping
Imagine you're scrolling through Amazon, BigBasket, or Flipkart. You see a product you like, but the real question hits you: "Is this the best price?"
Until now, that meant opening a new tab, typing the product name, maybe adding size/brand, and hoping you didn't miss a cheaper listing.

π What It Does
This isn't just a glorified search bar. The extension actively detects product details while you browse and gives you a smart "Compare on Groccr" button right on the page.
Here's what it pulls:
- Product name (cleaned, no fluff)
- Brand
- Pack size (e.g. 500g, 1L, 6 pcs)
- Quantity + Unit (structured data for better matching)
- SKU/ID
- Marketplace name
It then deep-links into Groccr search with all these details pre-filled:
&brand=BrandName
&size=500g
&qty=500
&unit=g
&sku=12345
&marketplace=amazon
So you don't just get similar matches β you get exact comparisons.
π Marketplaces We Speak Fluent In
(Plus a generic parser for any site with structured product data)
Each parser is custom-built with site-specific selectors, so we can pick up the details even if they're tucked away in a dropdown or behind a schema tag.
π‘ How It Works in Real Life
- You're looking at Tata Sampann Turmeric Powder 200g on BigBasket.
- The floating Compare on Groccr button appears in the corner.
- Click it β Groccr opens in a new tab with "Tata Sampann Turmeric Powder", brand=Tata Sampann, qty=200, unit=g already filled in.
- You instantly see which store delivers it fastest and cheapest to your pincode.
