If you're an Amazon seller using ArbiSource, you already know how powerful the platform is.

With instant access to thousands of profitable online arbitrage leads, fast wholesale list analysis, and live tracking of price drops from hundreds of retailers, ArbiSource offers some of the best value in the industry.

But for sellers who want to take things to the next level — those who want to unlock the full power of ArbiSource — there's Custom Scans.

And today, we’re excited to announce the most important upgrade to Custom Scans since they launched:

🎉 The Custom Scan Assistant Chrome Extension is here.

What Is It?

The Custom Scan Assistant is a brand-new Chrome extension that lets you build fully-configured Custom Scans for any retailer — in just a few clicks.

No more writing XPaths.
No more digging through HTML.
No more trial and error.

It’s completely visual, intuitive, and incredibly powerful.

You simply visit a category page on any retailer's site, open the extension, and visually select a few key product details. From there, ArbiSource does the rest — mapping out the product structure, testing the scan, and allowing you to either scrape with the extension or let ArbiSource run it automatically in the background, just like any built-in scan.

Why This Changes the Game

Let’s take a step back.

When we first launched Custom Scans, they were revolutionary — giving sellers the ability to scan their own retailers and keep all the results private. But they were also technical. You needed to understand how to create and troubleshoot XPaths, and many scans could take an hour or more to get just right.

Then came our XPath Finder, which automated most of the process. It worked well on 80% of sites, but still required users to understand the underlying structure of the site when things didn't go smoothly.

The Custom Scan Assistant Chrome Extension changes everything.

  • It removes every technical barrier to setting up Custom Scans
  • It saves hours of manual configuration
  • And it opens up the full potential of ArbiSource to every seller, regardless of their technical experience

And for advanced users? It means you can now configure, test, and deploy scans faster than ever — giving you a serious edge over anyone still sourcing manually.

Built-in Shopify Support (No Setup Required)

One of the most powerful aspects of this extension is its built-in support for Shopify stores.

When the extension detects you're on a Shopify site, it automatically enables specialised scraping options — no configuration needed.

You can:

  • Scrape the entire current collection, across all pages
  • Scrape the entire store in just minutes
  • Or test it directly with ArbiSource for fully automated, background scanning

This means you can unlock every product on a Shopify store — in seconds — while others are still clicking through category pages one by one.

Total Flexibility, Zero Waste

Another powerful aspect of the new extension is how flexible it is once a site has been configured.

Want to scan just one category?
✅ No problem.

Want to scan 10 categories across the site without revisiting each one?
✅ Easy — just choose “Scrape Multiple Categories.”

Want to revisit and scrape the site again next week?
✅ All your configurations are saved, ready to go.

And if ArbiSource isn’t able to scrape the site itself, the extension will handle the scraping for you — automatically sending products to ArbiSource in 5,000-product batches with your custom filters and pricing applied.

It even lets you resume sessions if your browser closes unexpectedly. You can pick up right where you left off — nothing lost.

Built for Scale, Built for Speed

This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about results.

Manual sourcing is slow. Repetitive. Easy to burn out from. And it leaves money on the table every single day.

With this new extension, you can scan more stores, more often, and with far less effort. You can scale your sourcing pipeline without needing to hire VAs, write scripts, or spend hours on a single site.

You’ll go from “this store looks interesting” to “this store just added 2,000 potential leads to my pipeline” — in minutes.

Take the Lead — While Everyone Else Plays Catch-Up

Most sellers are still sourcing manually — clicking through product pages, copying titles, checking ASINs one at a time.

With ArbiSource and the Custom Scan Assistant Extension, you can be running automated, private scans on niche sites, emerging brands, and Shopify stores that no one else is looking at.

This isn’t just a nice feature.

This is a competitive advantage.
