Shoppers’ Tutorial

Find It Now is a shopping search engine that assists the user in locating online stores selling a wide variety of products and services.

This is done through comparison along various lines - our results pages can compare product across price, brand, features, service and ratings.

How To Shop at Find It Now:

It is important to realize that Find It Now is not a shop. It is purely a comparison site that can take you to the store offering the best deal on the product you require.

As a user, you search for a specific product in any one of our departments, for example, Books, CDs & DVDs, Electronics etc.

Find It Now aims to source the best offers on that product available online in South Africa. We factor in all the costs such as VAT and Postage & Packaging to bring you the total costs involved.

Once you have made your selection you click on the link, which takes you directly to the applicable page on the site of the store selling that item.

At its simplest our site works as follows:

Find

Compare

Buy
