MAP Monitoring & EnforcementFor hardware and tool brands

MAP monitoring for tool and hardware brands

Tool and hardware prices drop below MAP in the cart, in quantity tiers, and on dealer sites you rarely visit. MAPComply checks Amazon, Google Shopping and brand and dealer sites every day, with the page as proof.

  • Dealer and distributor sites, found through Google Shopping or added by you.
  • Every finding has the page as we saw it, the time and a SHA-256 fingerprint.
  • $299/mo, checked daily. No calls, cancel any time.

What we see in hardware

Three ways tool and hardware prices get under your MAP

Dealers rarely change the sticker. They change the cart, the quantity or the site.

  • In-cart pricing

    The price only appears after the shopper adds the item to the cart.

    Add to cart to see price

    Marked "Price hidden" with the page as evidence. Counted by default; your policy decides.

  • Bulk and contractor tiers

    Quantity pricing for contractors that drops the unit price below MAP.

    1–2: $159.00 · 3+: $139.00 each

    Bulk prices are judged by default and shown as "Below MAP · bulk price". If you allow quantity tiers, switch it off in one question.

  • Dealer and distributor sites

    Dealers running their own promotions on sites you rarely visit.

    valuevault-supply.example/dd-20-drill-kit

    We check the product pages you add and the stores we find through Google Shopping. A site that blocks us is "Couldn't check", not a blank.

Hardware brand questions

Before you scan

No sales calls. Email support@mapcomply.com. A person replies within one business day.

Can MAPComply check my dealers' own websites?

Yes. The paid plan checks Amazon, Google Shopping and brand and retailer sites. The free scan checks Amazon only.

My dealers are authorized. Will they be flagged?

Not as unauthorized sellers. Their prices are still checked against your MAP, because authorized dealers can go below MAP too.

What if a dealer site blocks you?

The page is marked "Couldn't check" with the reason, never left blank, so a gap never looks like all clear.

What does the free scan check?

Up to five Amazon products against the MAP you enter. You get a shareable report of every offer seen, with the price, the seller and the evidence.
