Description
Product Price History saves a record every time a product’s price changes. You can use that record to show customers a price history chart, display the lowest price from the last 30 days on sale items, and meet price-disclosure rules in the EU and Croatia.
Recording starts as soon as the plugin is active. You don’t need to set anything up for it. Everything else is split into modules, so you only switch on what your store needs.
DOCUMENTATION | PRODUCT PRICE HISTORY PRO
Why use it
- Stay on the right side of the Omnibus Directive. In the EU, a discounted product has to show the lowest price it had in the 30 days before the discount. The plugin works that out from the recorded history and shows it next to the price.
- Meet Croatian price rules. Anchor Price and Digital Price List cover the extra requirements Croatian shops have had since 2025.
- Give shoppers a reason to trust your sales. A chart that shows where the price has been makes it clear that a discount is real.
- See your own pricing over time. The history is there when you want to check how and when prices changed.
Features
- Price recording: Every price change on simple products and variations is saved automatically, including changes made through the REST API and product importers.
- Chart: Show a price history bar chart on the product page. You can change its colors, size, title, date range, and the minimum number of prices needed before it appears.
- Lowest Price: Show the lowest price from the last 30 days on products that are on sale, with your own wording.
- Anchor Price: Store a reference price and its date for each product or variation, and show it next to the current price. If you don’t enter one, the plugin can fill it in from the recorded history.
- Digital Price List: Publish your current prices as a CSV file at a public URL. The plugin regenerates it for you and keeps older versions available for 30 days.
- Price Compliance Manager: Edit anchor prices for many products on one screen, or export and import them as CSV. You can filter products and match rows by SKU.
- Hide individual prices: Leave out specific entries from the chart or the lowest price calculation, for example a pricing mistake you fixed within minutes.

Installation
From your WordPress dashboard

- Click Install, then Activate.
Manual installation

After activation

FAQ
-
Why isn’t the chart showing on my product page?
-
Check these in order:
- The Chart module is on under Price History > Settings.
- The product has at least as many recorded prices as the Minimum prices to display setting.
- Hide chart isn’t ticked in the product’s Product Price History tab.
The plugin can only record price changes made after it was activated. It has no way to know older prices, so a new install may need a few price changes before the chart appears.
If all of that is fine, clear your site and browser cache. If the chart still doesn’t show, post on the support forum.
-
What does the plugin record?
-
The regular price, the sale price, the active price, and the currency for each product and variation, with the date and time of the change.
-
Can I change how the chart looks?
-
Yes. You can set the colours, width, title, date range, and how many prices must be recorded before the chart shows. PRO adds line and stepped charts, a range switcher, and a price summary.
-
Can I hide the chart on some products?
-
Yes. Open the product, go to the Product Price History tab, and tick Hide chart.
-
Can I leave certain prices out of the chart or the lowest price?
-
Yes. Open the product and go to the Product Price History tab. Each recorded price has a checkbox to hide it.
Variable products have two lists. The one in the Product Price History tab is used before a customer picks a variation. Each variation has its own list at the bottom of its settings.
-
Do I have to show the lowest price?
-
If you sell in the EU and the product is on sale, yes. The Omnibus Directive requires you to show the lowest price from the 30 days before the discount. Outside the EU it’s optional, but it still helps customers trust your sale prices.
-
What are Anchor Price and Digital Price List for?
-
They cover price rules that apply in Croatia. Anchor Price shows a reference price from a set date next to the current price. Digital Price List publishes your current prices as a CSV file and keeps older versions available for 30 days. Both are optional, so shops outside Croatia can leave them off.
This is general information, not legal advice.
-
Are these features in the free version?
-
Yes. Price recording, the bar chart, Lowest Price, Anchor Price, Digital Price List, and the Price Compliance Manager are all free.
