how to ask for a price match in Japanese?

What is the correct Japanese to use when asking an employee to match the price of a competitor?
For example when I want to buy a TV, I show the store employee the cheapest price on kakaku on my phone and say "この値段でおねがいできますか?"
How would a native Japanese speaker ask for this?

You can get the store to do price matching only at certain stores - where they (usually) advertise that they do it, such as home appliance/electronic chain stores... and if you are showing the price at a competitor on the screen, yes, you can say that to get them to price match.
Things to look out for would be: 最安値保証 (lowest price guaranteed) “sai-yasune hoshou” 最低価格保証 (lowest price guarantee) “saitei kakaku hoshou” プライスマッチ (price match) “puraisu macchi”
You can ask them first if they provide that (generally): Sai-yasune hoshou shite imasu ka? Or Puraisu macchi site imasu ka?
Then if they say yes, you can show the price from a competitor (not just the list on kakaku.com, but the actual competitor’s shopping page would be more useful).

thank you AK
"you can show the price from a competitor"
what should I say as I'm showing them the price from another store? I know they'd understand if I show them silently but I imagine a native Japanese speaker would say something.

この価格にできます? (Can you make it to THIS price?) Or この価格にしてもらえます?(Will you make it to THIS price?) … would be something I’d say :)
