Key Features and Workflow:
- Installation and Configuration:
- Once installed, the add-on offers multiple configuration options that allow store owners to customize the appearance of price changes on the product page.
- Frontend Display of Price Changes:
- By default, the add-on displays a button under the product price. When clicked, this button opens a pop-up window that contains the history of the product's price changes over a specific period.
- The pop-up window shows details like the old and new prices, and the date of each change, ensuring full transparency for the customer.
- Alternative Display Option:
- Instead of using the pop-up table, the add-on provides an option to display the lowest price of the product directly on the product card. This is especially useful for stores that want to highlight price trends at a glance.
- The price history will be accessible to customers in a clear and informative way, helping to build trust and compliance with consumer protection laws.
- Omnibus Directive Compliance:
- The add-on helps store owners comply with the Omnibus Directive, which mandates that businesses display price history when there have been price reductions in the past 30 days.
- This feature provides full transparency about price reductions and ensures that customers are well-informed about how prices have changed.
- Visual Example:
- The product page will display the history of price changes in a table format within the pop-up window, or, if configured, the lowest price can be displayed directly beneath the product price.
- This makes it easier for customers to compare current prices with historical prices, ensuring they have a complete view of the product’s pricing history.
Benefits:
- Compliance with the Omnibus Directive: By displaying price history, the add-on helps store owners adhere to European regulations regarding price transparency and consumer protection.
