Grocery List & Price Optimizer

Visita’s Grocery List is a free tool for residents to build shopping lists and find the cheapest stores. As a business owner, here’s how it works — and how you benefit.

​
How Residents Use It

  1. Build a list — Search 17,000+ products and add items with quantities
  2. Optimize — Visita finds the cheapest combination of stores for their entire list
  3. Shop — Get a store-by-store breakdown with exact prices
The optimizer checks both major retailers (PnP, Checkers) and local businesses that have listed prices on Visita.

​
How Your Business Benefits

When you set competitive prices via the Pricing Dashboard, your store appears in the optimizer results with a “Shop Local” badge.

​
Example Store Breakdown

A resident’s optimized grocery list might look like:
StoreItemsSubtotalType
Your Business 🏪4 itemsR89.96Local Business
Pick n Pay3 itemsR67.47Retailer
Checkers2 itemsR43.98Retailer
Your business appears alongside national chains — and customers see you as a real alternative.

​
Price Alerts

Residents can set price alerts on specific products. When your price (or any price) drops below their target, they get notified. This drives traffic to the cheapest source — which could be you.

​
Payday Grocery Digest

Every month on the 25th, Visita sends registered users a personalized grocery email featuring:
  • Updated prices on their saved items
  • New deals and specials
  • Your business, if you’re competitive on any of their items
This is free marketing delivered directly to local shoppers’ inboxes.
Bottom line: List your prices on the Pricing Dashboard, and Visita does the marketing for you — for free.
