What is Amazon Shopping Assistant?
Amazon Shopping Assistant is a Chrome extension designed to aid online shoppers on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca (United States & Canada regions). It provides valuable insights about products such as price history, prices from various sellers, and even suggests alternatives from other websites. Previously known as 'Price Checker of Amazon Variations', the extension no longer provides the price list of Amazon Variations, but still assists in making the right decision. Apart from these, it also lists product variations sorted by price (for products that have variations), includes an 'Add to cart' button for easy purchasing, and a link to view all offers for price comparison.

Extension summary

IMPORTANT NOTICE Since 0.5.0 - The AmzVar has been rebranded to "Amazon Shopping Assistant" (previously it was called "Price Checker of Amazon Variations") The new extension does not provide the price list of Amazon Variations, but it allows you to check the price history of most products, prices from different sellers, and alternatives from other websites. We hope it could help you to make the right decision. BEFORE YOU BUY, LET'S DO SOME RESEARCH... @shopecific Sep 3, 2022


Because Amazon does not allow its API to be used in the Browser Extension, AmzVar no longer works as before. We are looking for new ideas, in the meantime, you might continue to use AmzVar to check the Price History and All Prices of the current product. @shopecific Apr 9, 2018

What is the point of allowing this to remain in the Google Webstore when it obviously no longer works due to Amazon's API limitations?
