New online price comparison platform launched

All products are categorised making searches easier for shoppers and ensuring they find the right product quickly and easily. New and extensive filters have been implemented within searches and offers are matched and grouped on a single page, enabling consumers to compare prices and make decisions knowing they have found the best price on offer.

It has attended to a few other consumer requirements, including customer security by offering 'Verified Shops', where online shops have to meet a strict set of criteria in order to be verified by the site.

It also insists that each of its online shops disclose details such as a shop description, a contact method, delivery details and payment methods, which are publicly available in the shop directory, allowing consumers to determine if they feel secure in purchasing from them.

Another requirement it addressed is cost and how consumers could ensure they are getting the best overall deal. The site indicates which offers qualify for free shipping in the search results and shoppers can filter offers to show only those that qualify for free shipping.

It also offers an easy way to keep track of price drops through setting price alerts and keeping track of the price trend by means of the price history graphs.

There is also an option to save products to a list in order to come back later to those specific products without having to search all over again.

These features are only the beginning and, as consumer needs evolve, the site will continue to expand. One of the upcoming new features to look forward to is FindPrice Mobile, offering added convenience for on-the-go shoppers.

Jump.co.za will remain active for the next few weeks, until the transition to FindPrice is completed. In future, it will act as a content site focused on e-commerce, bringing shoppers news and the annual South African E-Commerce Awards.
