Complete Guide: How to Use ScanPricer

ScanPricer is your free tool to compare Amazon prices across 5 European countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom). In seconds, find where to buy cheaper and save up to 35% on your purchases. Here is how to use it efficiently.

What is an ASIN code?

The ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) is a unique 10-character code assigned by Amazon to each product. It's like a fingerprint: each product has its own ASIN, identical on all Amazon sites worldwide.

ASIN Example: B0CSTJ7Q77

Where to find the ASIN code?

In the URL: Look after /dp/ in the product page address
In product details: Scroll down to the bottom of the Amazon page
"Product Information" section: The ASIN is clearly displayed there

Quick Tip

An Amazon product URL looks like this: amazon.fr/dp/B0CSTJ7Q77/... The 10 characters after /dp/ are the ASIN!
