Not every retailer fits everyone. If you have stores you always buy from (or never want to see again), you can tell ShopSavvy.

## How to Set Your Retailer Preferences

1. Open ShopSavvy.
2. Tap **More** at the bottom, then tap **Settings**.
3. Open **Retailer Preferences**.
4. You will see two lists:
   - **Preferred retailers** — the shopping assistant favors these in results.
   - **Excluded retailers** — the assistant leaves these out entirely.
5. Type any retailer name to add it to either list. Tap the X next to a name to remove it.

## Just Ask the Assistant

You can also do this with a sentence. In the shopping assistant, try:

- **"Never show me results from [retailer]"**
- **"I prefer shopping at Target and Best Buy"**
- **"Don't recommend AliExpress"**

The assistant updates the same preferences behind the scenes.

## What This Affects

- Assistant recommendations weight preferred retailers higher and skip excluded ones.
- The main price comparison list still shows every retailer carrying a product — because sometimes the deal matters more than the store. You can always override.

## Tips

- Excluding a retailer does not cancel watches you already set on their products — edit those from **More → Watched**.
- Preferred retailers do not change pricing. We always sort by cheapest; preferences only affect recommendations.
