Why this page matters
Most sellers only ever look at the suppliers everyone already knows. The bigger opportunity is everywhere else — the smaller, cheaper, less-fought-over shops nobody has built a scraper for. Sellhelm does not need one written for yours either.
Nearly every online shop publishes its price, stock and photographs in a standard, machine-readable form — the same information Google uses to show a price under a search result. Paste a shop you found five minutes ago and watch it work.
Most dropshipping software hands you a fixed list and stops there — the same shops every other seller using it already knows about. Sellhelm teaches you to read any shop yourself, so your supplier list can be genuinely your own.
Every address you paste here is read once, kept in memory for a few minutes, then gone. Nothing is written down. The program works the same way on your own PC — we could not leak, sell or even see the suppliers you find if we wanted to.
Not a demo
Three things that separate this page from a marketing widget.
Not a copy written to look good on a website — the same files, lifted out of the program and running here. When the program improves, so does this, and a test stops the two ever drifting apart.
Which ways of reading the page were tried, which won, and whether two of them agreed on the price. Most tools have one way of reading a page and go quiet when it fails.
Photographs, title, what it costs, what to sell it at for a 25% return after every fee, stock, barcode, specification. The same draft the extension puts in your panel.
How it works
What matters is what happens when you paste a shop nobody has tested. Here is the whole of it, in the order it is tried.
Nearly every shop publishes its price, stock and photographs in a standard form so that Google can show them. Sellhelm reads that first, because it is the shop's own statement rather than a guess from the layout.
A page built in the browser still arrives carrying the data its own scripts will use - the product is in there even when the visible page looks empty. Sellhelm finds it and checks it really is this page's product, not the "you may also like" strip.
Shopify answers the product address with the whole product as JSON. WooCommerce, Magento and Squarespace each do their own version. None of it needs a key, and it works the same on every shop built with that platform - which is why a shop nobody has tested usually reads first time.
Some shops publish a plain copy of every page for Google or for phones. When the main page gives nothing, that copy usually does.
For the shops in the built-in list, someone has sat with the real pages: the biggest photographs, the awkward stock wording, the price that excludes VAT, the option that changes the price. That is what a reader of its own buys you.
Where more than one of them works, they are compared. Two independent readings that agree on a price is worth more than one clever answer — and where they disagree, Sellhelm says so rather than quietly choosing. A wrong cost price is the one mistake in this business that loses money on every single sale.

Worth saying plainly
This page answers one question: can the software see the price, the stock and the photographs. Whether a shop is a good supplier is a different question, and the two get confused constantly.
Before you build a listing on any shop, these are the questions that matter more than whether it reads:
Whether eBay allows it at all. Its policy allows dropshipping from a wholesale supplier and does not allow buying from another retailer to ship to your buyer, and plenty of brands are restricted on top of that.
A shop can read perfectly and still be a bad idea. Sellhelm keeps the numbers right once you have chosen — it is not a judgement about who to buy from, and it does not pretend to be.
Questions
It is the real one. The website runs the same reader the program runs, copied out of the program file for file, and a test fails if the copy ever falls behind. What you see here is what the program sees.
Yes. Type the shop's web address on its own, with no product after it, and the checker finds a product on that shop and reads it. It looks at the shop's own product list first, then its sitemap, then its front page.
That is the point of it. There are shops built in with a reader written for each, but most shops describe their products in a standard way for Google, publish their own product data for their own page scripts, or run on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or Squarespace - all of which Sellhelm knows how to ask. Paste a shop nobody has ever tested and it usually works.
A shop can tell the difference between a browser and a server, and some refuse servers to keep price-scrapers out. This page is a server in a data centre, which shops are warier of than a home broadband line, so a few shops that refuse this page will answer your own computer perfectly well. Either way the program reads them through its Chrome extension, in your own browser - which is a different thing entirely, and is why the extension exists.
Two other reasons, and neither is a fault in the shop. Some build the whole page in your browser and send a server an empty shell with no price in it - the extension reads these too, in your own browser, where the price is real. And a few fetch the price separately once the page is open, which the checker tells apart from a page it simply failed on. Either way, tell us the shop and it can get a reader of its own.
The page is read more than one way where more than one is available - the shop's structured data, the data its own scripts use, and its platform's answer. If two of them give the same price, that is real confidence. If they disagree, Sellhelm tells you instead of quietly choosing.
It is the price that returns 25% on what you spend after every eBay fee, at eBay's ordinary rate for most categories. In the program you set your own target, your own rounding, and the delivery each shop charges you, and it asks eBay for the fee rate of the category the item actually lists in.
No, and the two get confused constantly. Readable means the software can see the price, the stock and the photographs. Whether a shop is a sensible supplier is about delivery times, returns, whether they will send to your buyer, and whether eBay lets you list that brand at all. This page answers the first question only.
No. The address is read, the answer is kept in memory for a few minutes so pressing the button again does not ask the shop twice, and then it is gone. Nothing is written down and nothing is sent anywhere else. Asking us to add a shop is the one exception, because that is a message to us, and you choose to send it.
Only ordinary public product pages. It will not read an address on a private network, and it will not sign in to anything. eBay item pages need your own eBay keys, which live in the program, not here.
In the program, it becomes a draft you look over. The eBay category and the item specifics are fetched from eBay itself so the listing is not rejected for a missing field, and once it is live the price and stock are watched against the shop within the limits you set.
