Two very different questions get typed into search the same way: "is this on sale" and "is this in stock at my store." They need different tools, and it's worth being direct about which one Closetta actually answers.
These Are Two Different Problems
Price tracking answers: has this brand's online price dropped, and by how much?
Stock checking answers: does the physical store near me have this item, in my size, right now?
Closetta is built for the first one. It tracks online discount percentages daily across 50+ women's fashion brands — it does not check real-time in-store inventory at a specific location. If you're trying to confirm a store has an item on the shelf before you drive there, you need the retailer's own in-store stock checker, not a price tracker.
Where to Check In-Store Stock
For the brands people search this for most:
- River Island — use the "Check Store Stock" tool on the product page on riverisland.com, which lets you search by postcode and size.
- H&M — the H&M app and product pages show "Check in-store availability" by entering a location.
- Adidas — adidas.com product pages include a store-availability checker tied to your postal code, and the Adidas app supports the same lookup.
These tools update from each retailer's own inventory systems, which is the only accurate source for "is it on the shelf at this specific location right now."
Where Closetta Actually Helps
Once you know an item is in stock — or if you're happy to buy online instead of driving to a store — that's where price tracking becomes useful. As one real example: River Island's online prices have shown a peak discount of 50% off, with 66 tracked sale instances recorded between January and August 2026. If you're deciding between paying full price in-store today versus waiting to see if the same item drops online, that kind of tracked history is the relevant data point.
The same logic applies to H&M, Adidas, or any brand in Closetta's coverage: set a Price Tracker alert on a product URL, and you'll get an email if the price moves — whether or not it's physically on a shelf near you.
The Practical Split
- Need it today, in a specific size, at a specific store? Use the retailer's own stock checker.
- Flexible on timing, shopping online, or trying to decide if a price is actually good? Use a price tracker like Closetta.
- Want both? Check stock first to confirm availability, then set a price alert if you're not in a rush to buy at full price.
