Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Drop N Alert.
General
What is Drop N Alert?
Drop N Alert watches prices on Pakistani fashion brand sites. We alert you when a product you track drops. WhatsApp is optional after you verify a number.
Is Drop N Alert free to use?
Yes — Drop N Alert is free during MVP. You get 15 welcome credits at signup and 10 more credits each month. There's no credit card required.
Which brands do you track?
We track 100+ popular Pakistani fashion brands including Sapphire, Khaadi, Gul Ahmed, Alkaram, Sana Safinaz, Bonanza Satrangi, and many more. We add new brands over time — see the Brands page for the full live list.
Alerts & Notifications
How do price drop alerts work?
On a product page, set a price-drop alert. We watch that item and alert you when its price falls. Watched items are checked through the day — not every second. You can keep up to 10 active alerts. Brand-wide alerts are after MVP.
What notification channels are available?
Email first. Optional WhatsApp after you verify a Pakistan (+92) number in Settings — reply STOP to pause WhatsApp (email continues). Optional browser push if you allow it.
How do I turn off WhatsApp alerts?
Reply STOP to our WhatsApp number, turn off WhatsApp price alerts in Settings, or unlink the number. Email and in-app alerts for that product stay on until you remove the alert.
Can I follow an entire brand?
Not in MVP. For now, set a price-drop alert on the specific products you actually want.
Credits
How do credits work?
Setting a product alert uses 1 credit. A later drop notification does not take another credit. You start with 15 welcome credits at signup, plus 10 more on the same date each month. Unused monthly credits roll over — your balance never gets wiped.
What if I run out of credits?
Your existing alerts stay active, but you'll stop getting new notifications until your monthly top-up arrives or you earn more by inviting friends.
How does the referral program work?
Share your invite link from the dashboard. When a friend signs up using your link AND verifies their email, you each get 5 bonus credits. Your friend lands with 20 credits to start (welcome + referee bonus). Bonus credits never expire.
Shopper plans & credits
When will paid shopper plans be available?
Not yet — accounts and alerts are free during MVP. When paid options exist for shoppers, we will announce them clearly (not buried in settings) with notice before any charge.
Will I be charged without warning?
No. We are not taking payments during MVP. If we introduce paid plans later, you won't be charged until you actively pick a plan in a new checkout step.
I represent a brand — where are partnership or listing details?
See the For brands page (/pricing): MVP inclusion, corrections, and how we treat public storefront data. That page is written for brand owners and managers, not shopper credits.
Trust & Accuracy
How accurate are the prices?
Prices come from brand stores. Watched items are checked through the day. Other products refresh overnight. Always confirm the price on the brand site before you buy.
What is the Price Integrity score?
It's our proprietary metric that evaluates whether a discount is genuine. A high score means the discount has been verified against historical pricing data.
