Price-match, frankly, appears to almost be a single word in English, however, it is surprisingly missing from the dictionary, and translate tools don't seem to do the justice, either.

  • @Dmitry, Тогда уж лучше "сопостовление", а не "соответствие". Но очень странно звучит.

    Если в контексте Price Match Guarantee, то это гарантия лучшей цены.

    @cnst, guess, it is not a common practice in Russia (actually I knew about such phenomenon from your answer), that's why there's no appropriate word for this. As you see in answers, different retailers name similar rules differently.

  • @Dmitry, лучшая цена is different from price match.

"Price match guarantee" in advertising campaigns is usually translated as Гарантия лучшей цены or sometimes Гарантия наилучшей цены

Гарантия наилучшей цены распространяется на самые низкие доступные тарифы эконом-классе и бизнес-классе KLM и Northwest Airlines. (KLM)

Гарантия низкой цены is also used in the marketing (google finds it on ozon.ru and on several hotel booking sites), although лучшая цена seems to be more more popular. For a native speaker all these variants are pretty much equivalent: they reasonable ok and convey their meaning.

"Price match" as the process of checking the competitors' prices does not have a coined term in Russian. I would say «сверить цены»

цены можно сверить на сайте pricerunner.co.uk

  • i think a proper answer would be more complete and with some sample usage; e.g. how do you say, "we price match" / "do you price match?" etc. from your answer, especially for "лучшая цена", it's unclear to me how to compose such a sentence (without also using the word "гарантия", for example).

  • A good reference point. Mvideo is a big brick&mortar retailer out of Moscow (I see they now in a few regional cities, too, as well as the internet), but we probably need a few more references for a complete answer.

Another example is "Защита цены" by "Эльдорадо" (another big Russian retailer): http://www.eldorado.com.ua/low_price (it's an ukrainian site but the page is in Russian).

Also sometimes "гарантия низких цен" can be used in the meaning of the "price matching" too.

To summarize, Russian market still has no common term for "price matching".

Cловосочетание прайс-мэтч весьма популярно в русскоязычном интернете в Америке и Канаде. В последнее время, это словосочетание начало проникать и в собственно российский интернет. Так например, на сайте babyblog.ru от 26.07.2016 находим следующую фразу:

... магазин, который делает прайс-мэтч (то есть дает гарантию честной цены)

Отметим, что перевод гарантия честной цены тоже понятен и годен к употреблению.

    Ориентировка на популярность того или иного словосточетания в русскоязычных англофонских сообществах может сыграть дурную службу. Турка вместо индюшки, салмон вместо сёмги, взять автобус и так далее.

  • Тут, впрочем, имени одной сёмги (из Атлантического океана) будет недостаточно - есть же и кета, горбуша, чавыча, нерка и т.д. (все - лососи Тихого океана). Взять автобус, кстати, можно, договорившись с водителем.
