How can I track product listings and price changes in my computer store?

Topic summary

A computer store owner seeks to track product listings, price changes, and staff activity. Several solutions are provided:

Built-in Shopify Options:

  • Store Activity Log (Settings > Store activity log) shows basic events like product additions/deletions with timestamps and user information
  • Inventory Adjustment Log tracks stock changes by user but not price/detail edits
  • Hidden URL trick: append /events.json to product URLs in admin to view publish/unpublish events and some edits

Third-Party Solutions:

  • Backup apps like Rewind Backups or Talon Backups provide macro-level change tracking and restoration capabilities
  • Loggr Product History & Revert offers comprehensive edit recording and revert functionality

Key Recommendation:
Ensure staff use individual login credentials rather than shared accounts to accurately trace who made specific changes.

The discussion remains open with no definitive solution chosen, though multiple viable tracking methods are presented.

Hi,

I run a computer store and I wanted to keep track of who is listing the product, when it was listed, when was the price changed and who changed the price.

Is there any third party application to assist me with this or something I can do to view this and keep a track of the store and staff?

Please let me know

Hi @bt3121

Shopify automatically monitors events such as product deletions or additions. To access this information in your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Store activity log.

However, please note that the Store activity log may not capture more significant changes at a macro level. In such cases, it is advisable to consider using third-party store backup apps like Rewind Backups or Talon Backups. These apps not only allow you to restore undesired changes but also help in identifying the staff members responsible for those changes.

Ensure that your staff members use their individual login credentials. If a shared credential is used, it becomes challenging to trace who made specific changes.

If you’re looking for logs, there’s a sneaky trick. Go to the product in the backend, and at the end of the URL type /events.json.

Example:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/{your-store-link}/products/9954787197241/events.json

It doesn’t show everything, just publish/unpublish and some edits.

If you want full history, I built Loggr Product History & Revert. It records all edits and you can revert them.

Hi @bt3121

If you use Shopify’s built-in Activity Log

Go to Shopify Admin → Settings → Activity

Here you’ll see who made updates (but details are limited, e.g. “Product updated” only).

Store Activity Log

Shows broad changes (e.g., “Product updated”) along with the user/app and timestamp

Inventory Adjustment Log

Displays stock change history by user, but does not track product detail edits like price or name changes
