By recording native regular and scheduled sale prices over a configurable reference period, it establishes a reliable audit trail directly within the WordPress database. This utility is indispensable for merchants who need to display the lowest price prior to a discount without manually maintaining complex spreadsheets or custom database queries. It serves as a lightweight, proactive compliance tool that must be integrated early into a store&#8217;s lifecycle to build the necessary historical data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Fit &amp; Operational Role:<\/strong> This plugin is an ideal fit for WooCommerce store owners operating within or selling to the European Union who rely primarily on native WooCommerce pricing structures for promotional campaigns. It sits within the compliance and display layer of the WordPress stack, solving the operational challenge of dynamically calculating and rendering the lowest historical price before a markdown. It is best suited for standard retail setups, whereas stores utilizing complex dynamic pricing engines, coupon-heavy strategies, or multi-currency switchers will find the free version&#8217;s scope insufficient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Potential Limitations &amp; Pitfalls:<\/strong> The primary operational limitation is its reliance on historical data captured after installation; it cannot retroactively reconstruct pricing history prior to its activation. Additionally, because the free version only tracks native WooCommerce price fields, it will not capture price drops triggered by third-party dynamic pricing plugins, cart-level discounts, coupons, or multi-currency conversions. Developers should also monitor database growth over time due to the daily evidence snapshots, particularly on high-SKU stores with frequent price updates, and ensure the plugin is active well ahead of scheduled promotional periods to establish a valid compliance baseline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"plugin-info-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius: 10px;overflow: hidden;margin-bottom: 30px;font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, sans-serif;background: #fff\">\n<div style=\"padding: 20px;border-bottom: 1px solid #edf2f7;background: #fafafa;display: flex;align-items: flex-start\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/boatapps-price-compass\/assets\/icon-256x256.png?rev=3711953\" alt=\"BoatApps Price Compass icon\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 45px;height: 45px;border-radius: 8px;margin-right: 15px\"> <\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1;line-height: 1.2\">\n<div style=\"font-weight: bold;font-size: 1.1em;color: #1a202c\">Plugin Specification<\/div>\n<p>                    <small style=\"color: #718096\">WordPress.org Official Data<\/small>\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;font-size: 14px\">\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #edf2f7\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 20px;text-align: left;width: 35%;color: #4a5568;background: #fcfcfc\">Developer<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 20px;font-weight: 500\"><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/sosinsky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BoatApps<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #edf2f7\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 20px;text-align: left;color: #4a5568;background: #fcfcfc\">Version<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 20px\">v0.5.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #edf2f7\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 20px;text-align: left;color: #4a5568;background: #fcfcfc\">Active Installs<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 20px\">0 +<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #edf2f7\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 20px;text-align: left;color: #4a5568;background: #fcfcfc\">Requires \/ Tested<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 20px\">6.6 \/ 7.1.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #edf2f7\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 20px;text-align: left;color: #4a5568;background: #fcfcfc\">Last Updated<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 20px\">2026-09-24 8:05pm GMT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 20px;text-align: left;color: #4a5568;background: #fcfcfc\">Official Link<\/th>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 20px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/boatapps-price-compass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"text-decoration: none;color: #4a3bca;font-weight: bold\">View Details -&gt;<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<div class=\"plugin-short-desc\" style=\"margin: 20px 0;padding: 12px 15px;background: #f9fafb;border-left: 4px solid #4a3bca;border-radius: 6px;font-style: italic;color: #4a5568\">Track WooCommerce price history and show the lowest price before a reduction.<\/div>\n<p>BoatApps Price Compass records product and variation prices and displays the lowest recorded price in the configured reference period before a reduction began.
