Project acquiring lead price comparison website (7)

I believe the answer is:

shopbot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'price comparison website' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'project acquiring lead' is the wordplay.
'project' becomes 'shoot' (shooting is a kind of projecting).
'acquiring' is an insertion indicator.
'lead' becomes 'Pb' (Pb is the chemical symbol for lead).
'shoot' enclosing 'pb' is 'SHOPBOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
