    Description, as the server wrote it
    Products from independent Shopify sellers whose price Shoptegrity recorded dropping below its usual level. Shows real drops rather than headline discounts, for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. A drop counts only with at least 7 earlier days of recorded prices; prices raised before a sale never qualify. min_percent_off is 1-90. query filters by words in the title or seller. max_per_seller (default 3) keeps one seller's sale from filling the list. Largest drop first, never ordered by commission.
