Exito Scraper for Prices, Payment Tiers and Sellers

exito.com is the online store of Almacenes Éxito S.A., the Colombian retailer behind Grupo Éxito, and it sells in pesos to customers in Colombia. The top menu splits the catalogue into Mercado (groceries), Tecnología, Hogar (home) and Moda (fashion), plus Ofertas y promociones, Tienda Destacada and Gana Cashback; the category tree runs from there down to leaves such as Televisores Samsung or Granos y arroz, and promotions are grouped into numbered collection pages.

Two traits set it apart from a plain retail catalogue. It is a marketplace as well as a store: Exito sells its own stock, and outside sellers list products on the same pages, each named under Vendido por with its own delivery time and warranty. And the price depends on how the buyer pays. Exito has its own Tarjeta Éxito card, and a product can carry a lower price for that card, another for Mastercard and an Otros price for everyone else, next to the crossed-out list price.

Fulfilment is the third variable. Exito ships its own items to Bogotá, Medellín, Cali and Barranquilla on a shorter promise than to other cities, offers Compra y recoge at its stores for eligible products, and lets buyers pay online or in cash. Loyalty runs through Puntos Colombia, which product pages turn into a points figure.

Exito data answers questions about Colombian retail that a single list price cannot.

• Card-price strategyThe gap between the Tarjeta Éxito price, the Mastercard price and the Otros price shows how much of each discount is reserved for card holders, category by category and week by week.
• Marketplace competitionOfertas adicionales put Exito's own offer beside outside sellers on the same product, with seller ratings, delivery times and warranties - the material for checking who wins the first position and which sellers undercut a brand's price.
• Grocery basket trackingMercado items carry a pack size and a unit price, so a basket of staples such as rice can be priced per gram across brands and over time.
• Promotion calendarsDay-specific campaigns and discount badges, captured daily, show when Exito cuts prices and how deep the cut goes.
• Assortment and share of shelfResult counts, brand filters and best-seller sorting show which brands Exito gives space to in electronics, appliances, toys or fashion.
