BuildClub

A Chrome extension for price comparison across multiple home improvement retailers.

Problem

BuildClub required a Chrome extension that could compare real-time product prices across Home Depot, Lowe’s, Amazon, and Ace Hardware. It needed to display best deals, integrate affiliate links, and remain user-friendly for shoppers.

Challenges

Amazon’s API restrictions made it difficult to perform multiple product searches efficiently. Price accuracy was complicated by varying location-based rates. Integrating affiliate links without cluttering the interface demanded careful UI/UX planning and performance tuning.

Solution

Devflovv developed a React-based Chrome extension using AWS Amplify and Stripe. It dynamically fetches prices, flags the best deals, and supports a Stripe-powered subscription model. The extension is scalable for future updates like barcode scanning and retailer expansion.
