Simple by design
How Clynchd works
Whether you're a consumer looking for the best price or a retailer looking for new sales, here's exactly what happens on the platform.
Get the best price without the effort
Search for a product
Enter a product name or scan its barcode. Clynchd shows you which retailers currently stock it.
Place your bid
Confirm your delivery details and launch your bid. All retailers stocking the product are notified instantly.
Retailers compete across multiple rounds
Retailers respond automatically. We run up to three competitive rounds to clynch you the best deal — you can watch the best price update in real time.
Checkout at the locked price
The lowest offer wins. You receive a direct checkout link to the winning retailer's store at the locked price. Valid for 30 minutes.
Respond automatically. Win orders you'd never have seen.
Connect your catalogue
Install the Clynchd Shopify plugin or integrate via our API. Your existing product catalogue syncs automatically using the barcode data already on your products.
Set your rules once
Define your discount rules — for example, "respond at 10% off my current retail price in Round 1, and 15% off in Round 2". Clynchd handles the rest automatically.
Receive bid notifications
When a consumer bids on a product you stock, Clynchd sends your system a webhook. Your configured rules respond instantly — no manual action required.
Fulfil the order your way
When you win, you send a checkout URL and fulfil the order through your normal process. For Shopify merchants, a draft order is created automatically.
The bid mechanic
How the competition works
30 seconds
All retailers stocking the product receive the bid simultaneously and have 30 seconds to respond with their best price.
15 seconds
If multiple retailers responded, those who didn't win Round 1 are invited to improve their offer. 15 second window.
15 seconds
If a Round 2 response beats the Round 1 winner, that original winner gets one final chance to counter.
The outcome is always clear. When the rounds close, the lowest price locks. The winning retailer is notified and sends you a direct checkout link at that exact price — no changes, no surprises.
