BoatApps Price Compass

BoatApps Price Compass records product and variation prices and displays the lowest recorded price in the configured reference period before a reduction began. This price-history information can help merchants meet price-transparency duties, including requirements associated with the EU Omnibus Directive. Free includes WooCommerce regular and scheduled sale prices, simple and variable products, a daily evidence snapshot, a shortcode, catalog display, diagnostics, and configurable customer messages. The plugin only reports price history it has recorded. Install it before announcing a reduction and verify your store's pricing configuration. The plugin does not provide legal advice or guarantee compliance with any law or regulation. Merchants remain responsible for deciding which rules apply to their store and for obtaining professional advice when needed. Price Compass does not detect reductions created outside native WooCommerce prices, such as coupons, cart discounts, custom dynamic-pricing code, or third-party multi-currency conversions. Those integrations are outside the Free edition.
