Can I run Precios for a country other than the Dominican Republic?+
Yes — that’s the whole point. Settings → Precios lets you change the country, language, currency, and the list of supermarkets you compare. The Dominican demo (7 stores, 12 categories, 100+ products) ships as importable content so you can see it working, then swap in your own catalog. English and Spanish ship built-in; more languages are added via a WordPress filter.
Is precios.com.do actually running this theme?+
Yes — it’s the same codebase, not a marketing mock-up. precios.com.do compares La Sirena, Nacional, Bravo, Jumbo, Olé, Plaza Lama and PriceSmart, and the theme you buy is what renders it. That’s the point of shipping it publicly: you can see the product working under real traffic with real prices before you spend anything.
Do I get the Dominican scrapers too?+
Not as a copy-paste solution, and it’s worth being honest about why. Store scrapers are written against a specific site’s markup, so the DR scrapers only fit DR stores. What Push Sync gives you is the hard part that does transfer: the authenticated endpoint, the payload contract, and the price-matching logic on the WordPress side. You write the fetch for your own stores; the theme handles the rest.
How do you stop a broken scraper from publishing wrong prices?+
Wrong prices are the one failure this product can’t survive, so the sync path is deliberately conservative. Prices that move implausibly overnight are held for review rather than published. A store that returns far fewer products than usual is skipped entirely, leaving yesterday’s prices untouched instead of publishing a half-empty catalog. If a run looks broken overall, nothing is published at all. Stale but correct beats fresh but wrong.
How do I keep prices up to date without a scraper?+
Prices live as regular WordPress content, so you can edit them directly in wp-admin or manage the whole catalog via CSV. Export the file, update in Excel or Google Sheets, upload it back — the theme matches products by name + brand so re-imports never create duplicates. Most operators run this workflow weekly in about 10 minutes.
What’s the difference between Push Sync and Pull Sync?+
Push Sync is a one-time addon for teams that run their own scraper — it opens a secure REST endpoint on your site so your Python/Node scraper can post fresh prices on any schedule you like. Pull Sync (coming soon) is a subscription for non-technical operators: we run the scrapers centrally, your site subscribes to the feed and refreshes automatically. Same result, different lever.
Can I upgrade from Theme to a Sync tier later?+
Yes — email us and we’ll upgrade you and send the bundled download for the tier you want. We keep the pricing page simple by not listing every combination; contact-based upgrades let us give proration or a small courtesy discount case by case.
Does the AI-assisted search cost extra?+
The search itself is free. The optional AI fallback — when a shopper searches for a product that isn’t in your catalog — calls the Anthropic API using an API key you paste into wp-admin. The key is stored server-side and never sent to visitors’ browsers. You pay Anthropic directly for what you use; there is no markup from us.
Does my data leave my server?+
No. Products, prices, categories, and history all live in your WordPress database. AI search requests are the only external calls, and they go directly from your server to the provider you configured — not through us.
Can I move my license to a new site?+
Yes. Deactivate on the old domain to free the slot, then activate on the new one. A license follows your business, not your hosting.
Which WordPress version and PHP do I need?+
WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer. Works on any standard host — shared, VPS, or managed WordPress. No exotic dependencies, no external database, no build step.
