Price Parsing

Extract prices conservatively. Do not record a price unless it is visible or present in structured product offer data.

Currency

Recognize common symbols:

• $ -> infer USD/CAD/AUD from site or user locale
• US$ -> USD
• CA$ -> CAD
• £ -> GBP
• € -> EUR

Store ISO-style currency codes when possible.

Parsing Rules

• Remove thousands separators.
• Preserve cents.
• Ignore crossed-out list prices when a current sale price is visible.
• Ignore monthly financing prices unless the product is normally sold as a subscription.
• Ignore cart, checkout, or member-only prices if they require an account, cart action, or bypassing access controls.
• If a page shows a range, report the range in Markdown and store the lowest visible price only when it is a valid purchasable price.

Preferred Extraction Order

1. JSON-LD Product.offers.price and priceCurrency
2. meta tags such as product:price:amount
3. embedded page state JSON with offer data
4. visible DOM text near the product title, price block, or buy box
