Is it possible to watch a vendor (subscribe)?
There are a few vendors that almost immediately go to wishlist for me, and it would be nice to have a notification when they release new items!
Thanks!

This would be nice.
AFAIK it doesn't exist right now. Might be worth submitting a "feedback" ticket to Daz to suggest it.
This is sort of in the upcoming new release of the browser addon, but we're still debating whether to include it now, or wait with it. The appearance of new items in the store is very random, unfortunately. :( Readmes are not reliable because they sometimes exist, sometimes not. The items are usually added as the newest releases, but sometimes as the oldest ones. Currently, there's no sure way of telling what the day's new items are. If you know of a sure way, do let me know!
The add-on was the first place I looked!
How about this page, would it have the data you need? - https://www.daz3d.com/rss/catalog/new/store_id/1/
I notice the last item listed there is Tiffany, which appears to be an older Thorne item, so maybe this page is accurate of add's to the store on that day?
Alternatively, you could always define the scope of the feature, such as:
...or something like that?
I'll keep an eye on this to see if it works even when the "new arrivals" sort order is wrong.
In the meantime, if anyone's interested, I can add you as a "beta tester" to this feature, but it's not 100% accurate yet because of the above confusions. Send me a PM with the email address you use for the notifications, and the PAs you want included.
Hi @Ati,
Any further considerations on this feature? I just saw a new product coming by @PedroFurtadoArts that I would love to get a notification when released! :)
Thanks!
When we moved to our new backend servers, this got hibernated. With the testing of the "owned item categorization" in full swing, I guess I have time to get this feature off the shelf again in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the reminder. :)
Thanks!
You could just bookmark the store. I think most browsers would let you put that link into an RSS feed that would notify you of any changes to that vendor's store. I don't use RSS, but it does notify you of any changes to a website.
I can’t believe twice in one month I get to share sections of my book on vendors...
First I have to include the disclaimer...

The following “information” is an excerpt from a field guide I wrote about the study of vendors and content creators in the wild. Please note, you should never directly approach a wild vendor as they have very sharp nasty little teeth and they love biting stuff. While domestic vendors are quite adorable if properly fed and supplied with ample quantities of alcohol, the wild vendor must hunt for its food and alcohol and thus it can be quite territorial.
Chapter 3- “Vendor Watching”
There are several reasons one may wish to watch a vendor... Scientific research, boredom, curiosity, love of nature or just plain old kinky fetish stuff. Depending on your motives or interests you should decide in advance what your goals are...
If it is a nefarious purpose, please turn to Chapter 2- “Nefarious Motives”... If your motivation leans towards the kinkier interests please see Chapter 32- “So You Want To Get Jiggy With A Vendor You Filthy Piggy”. Otherwise keep reading here for tips on how to properly observe vendors in the wild.
Before you embark on your quest, make sure you have a few essential items with you... A pair of quality binoculars of at least dollar store grade or above, Clean underwear, A delicious lunch, A shovel, Vendor repellent (more important around mating season), A crowbar (useful for defense as well as breaking and entering) and finally, A still camera or video camera (the video camera is best for mating season “research”)
It is important to remember that wild vendors can be quite dangerous and are best observed from afar, but if you are careful, vendor watching can be quite enjoyable and hardly lethal at all. My experience with wild vendors has led me believe that the best way to go about vendors watching is by breaking it down into steps...
1- “The Vendor”... Contrary to what popular literature and how Hollywood portray it, the woods are not teeming with vendors. It is true that once great herds of vendors roamed the earth as far back as the Woolly Vendor of the last ice age, but sadly the twenty first century has not been kind to the vendor. Perhaps it is global warming, natural predators, illnesses like Mad Vendor Disease and Vendor Pox, or an increase in alcohol prices that have led to the decline in wild vendor populations... lord knows it’s not a lack libido, those little buggers will go at it like bunnies on viagra, but whatever the cause, wild vendors are hard to come by and often elusive. It is true you can probably find a few passed out in the alley behind a strip club or Vodka factory, sleeping under an overpass or skulking around the bus station in a trench coat... But these are urban vendors which are not quite the same. Urban vendors are not as colorful, are slightly larger and slower and tend use foul language more often. The true challenge lies in the wild vendor.
2- “Finding A Vendor”... Vendors may be elusive, but they are not impossible to find. Most vendors will stake out a territory and mark it with pungent bodily fluids. They will often use particular trails referred to as “Vendor Runs”... it is along these trails they will leave behind vendor droppings, some being quite large. Vendor droppings can tell you when the vendor was last in the area... not literally... If the dropping seems to be talking to you, the fumes are probably causing you to hallucinate, so you should seek fresher air. The moister the dropping, the more recent. Having determined a fresh vendor dropping indicates you are in a vendor’s territory and you are now ready for step three...
3- “Lunch”... Hopefully you brought along something to eat... some fried chicken or a grilled halibut is a wonderful meal for such an outing. Granted one might not find themselves hungry after prodding vendor poops to check for freshness, but it is important to keep up your strength.
4- “Becoming Invisible”... Not literally, but you are going to have to hide if you wish to track your prey... The first thing to keep in mind is not to hide in the same bushes you found the vendor poops in... and definitely don’t dive in there headfirst if you think one is approaching... it is better to spook it or get mauled by one then to get that stuff on you. Some experts claim that hiding up a tree is a good idea, but recent evidence suggests that not only are vendors easily fooled, their sight appears to be based entirely on movement just like the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Indeed it is quite sufficient to find an old log or tree stump a few feet off the trail and just sit there with a few branches sticking out of your pockets and ears. Make sure not to harvest the branches from the poop bush.
5- “The Waiting Game”... Not only was it a great board game by Milton Bradley, the waiting game is an essential part of the hunt. While it is not unheard of to wait around for several days, usually the vendor will trot or skip on by (depending on how drunk they are), within a few hours. If you do not find a vendor coming along the trail after a reasonable amount of time, you may want to set out some bait in the form of an alcoholic beverage. Purists say this is cheating, but as long as you don’t make it a habit, it’s okay to do once or fifty three times.
6- “Observation”... Eventually you will spot your quarry. Once you see the majestic vendor stumble into view, you will surely be in awe of its grace and beauty... or equally possible, appalled by its stench and manners. It’s really kinda hit and miss with them. It is important to remain calm and not shout out in joy or start playing the saxophone or harpsichord. It is especially important to never play the harpsichord around wild vendors as it both enrages and arouses them and neither of those is good. If you have remained relatively motionless, you may start taking pictures as long as do so quietly. Hopefully if all goes well, you will not need the crowbar, the clean underwear or the shovel to dig any shallow graves.
By following those six simple steps you can find a rewarding hobby in Vendor Watching. Worldwide it is one of the fastest growing hobbies and fetishes around, with dozens if not tens of enthusiasts in several if not a bunch of countries.
If your interests in vendors was more than just observation or a kinky fantasy, please proceed to Chapter 4- “The Next Level” or Chapter 62- “Selling Your Naughty Vendor Videos You Cheeky Pervert”

I hope this was helpful... or entertaining, or in the very least, nobody’s eyes fell out completely.
I think my brain fell out at "Wooly Vendor"...
Ren: "Steempy, you eediot, what ees that?"
Stimpy: "Oh, that's just my brain. It's always falling out."
ROFL~ This is too funny! :D I love reading your chapters on vendors. The vendor Discord gets a kick out of them too. :) Thank you for making us smile!
I sent you a message.
A new version of this feature is under testing now--no public signup form is up yet, though. If anyone else wants to give it a go, send me a message with the list of PAs you want to "subscribe to" (or just get all the daily new items in an email, if you want everyone and everything :)).
