The Charts panel in ProductChimp helps you track a product’s historical performance by displaying price and sales data over time. By hovering over any point on the chart, you can view the exact date, time, price, and ranking information for different listing types. These markers make it easier to identify pricing trends, marketplace changes, and potential sourcing opportunities.
What Are Price Markers?
Price markers provide detailed historical data for a product, showing how prices and rankings have changed over time. When you hover over a chart data point, ProductChimp displays the exact values recorded at that moment.
The chart tracks multiple data sources, allowing you to compare different seller fulfilment methods and Amazon pricing at a glance.

FAQs
Why do some markers not appear on every product?
Not all products have data available for every fulfilment type. If a product has no recorded FBA, FBM, Buy Box, or New offer data during a specific period, that marker may not be displayed.
What does the Buy Box marker represent?
The Buy Box marker shows the price associated with the Buy Box at a specific point in time, helping you track how it changes over the product's history.
Why are FBA and FBM prices different?
FBA and FBM sellers often have different operating costs and fulfilment methods, which can result in different pricing strategies.
Can I see the exact time a price changed?
Yes. Hovering over a chart point displays the recorded date and time for that specific data entry.
Does the chart include Sales Rank information?
Yes. When Sales Rank data is available, it will be displayed in the tooltip alongside the pricing information.
How can chart data help with sourcing decisions?
Historical pricing and ranking data can help you identify stable products, seasonal trends, and potential profit opportunities before purchasing inventory.
