Compare prices across China's top e-commerce platforms and find coupons instantly
Maishou (买手 / Shopping Assistant) is an automated cross-platform comparison shopping and discount-discovery skill on EasyClaw. Designed specifically for Chinese e-commerce platforms, it scans and aggregates product listings, live pricing data, and active coupon codes across China's leading marketplaces — including Taobao, Tmall, JD.com, and Pinduoduo — helping buyers find the absolute lowest prices and checkout order codes headlessly.
The skill is built for smart consumers checking prices before buying, dropshippers sourcing hot consumer products locally, and marketing coordinators tracking live competitive price distributions.
The expected outcome is a structured Comparison Shopping Report: a clean pricing matrix comparing final costs (after coupons and discounts) across multiple platforms, complete with direct purchase link references.
1. Analyze query and product specifications. Provide the name of the product you want to find (e.g., "Dyson hair dryer") and specify any specific parameters (such as color, model, or generation).
2. Multi-platform e-commerce search. The skill’s browser automation engine executes clean-state, anonymous searches across major Chinese shopping platforms headlessly.
3. Price and coupon extraction. It parses the search grids to isolate: Product Title, Platform Retail Price, Active Coupons (e.g., ¥50 off ¥300), Shipping Terms, and total Monthly Sales Volume (velocity).
4. Fractions and final cost calculation. The skill automatically deducts the discovered coupons and promotional values from the base retail price, computing the true final checkout cost for each platform.
5. Output generation. Results are formatted into a clean, ranked comparison table in your conversation, with direct platform links and promotional codes ready to copy-paste.

1. Comparing prices for a high-end appliance across platforms
A consumer wants to buy a "Dyson hair dryer" and find the absolute cheapest deal in China. They run a comparative query through the skill. Maishou scans Taobao, JD, and Pinduoduo headlessly, extracts the active prices, identifies a ¥150 store coupon on Pinduoduo, and presents a ranked comparison table showing that Pinduoduo has the lowest final checkout price.
2. Finding the best deal on AirPods with direct order codes
A user wants to buy AirPods. The skill scans the active platforms and highlights the top deal on JD.com. It provides the direct product link, along with the precise copy-paste "JD order code" (京东口令) that the user can copy to their phone and open in the JD app to land directly on the correct checkout page.
3. Sourcing products for local e-commerce dropshipping
A local Pinduoduo merchant wants to dropship a trending smart humidifier. They use the skill to run price checks across multiple wholesale and retail listings, identifying direct manufacturers selling at factory-floor prices, maximizing their dropshipping markup potential.
4. Auditing holiday-season competitive price curves
During a major sales festival (Double 11), a brand manager wants to track if competitors are undercutting their prices on other platforms. The skill scans their competitor SKUs across Taobao and JD hourly, outputting a comparative pricing report to help the brand adjust their own pricing strategies in real-time.
5. Seamlessly matching specific model configurations
A buyer wants to purchase a "Nintendo Switch OLED Model." They specify the exact configuration. The skill runs the comparative scan, bypassing generic accessories or older models to return only matching OLED console listings with active store discounts.
A buyer wants to find the cheapest Nintendo Switch on JD.com.
1. They open EasyClaw and activate Maishou.
2. They run: *"Find the best price for Nintendo Switch OLED on JD.com."*
3. The skill checks active listings on JD, pulls pricing and coupon values, and compiles the Shopping Snapshot:
- Best Deal: Nintendo Switch OLED (Japanese Version) at 1,899.00 RMB.
- Active Coupons: ¥100 platform coupon applied.
- Final Cost: 1,799.00 RMB (Free shipping).
