Omnibus price history
Getting started
In this article, you can learn about the omnibus price history functionality. This functionality allows showing the customers if the current product catalog price is the lowest catalog price in the last X days or not (1) when the promotion price is applied to the product. If the price is not the lowest one, there will be information about the lowest price in the last X days. The price check occurs every day at 01:05, 09:05, 16:05, and 23:30. This functionality also introduces a new price history report.

Product price history
With this integration, a new report has been created. The product price history report can be found in:
Reports > Products price history
RememberPrices are updated four times per day. The report contains prices for every product which was active in the default altshop on a given day. If a product was not active in the default alt shop, there will be no row for a given product and day. Only default altshop prices are used. Prices history is stored for X days (configurable in the system settings). You can learn more about altshops in the Alt shops - Introduction article.
The SKU column in the report is just to allow for faster data analysis. Data is stored per product, not per SKU, as all SKUs assigned to a single product always have the same price.
Below you will find a description of possible actions.

- Date range - A range of dates from which price history will be exported.
- Product SKU - A list of SKUs separated by commas that will be exported.
You can export the report with an Apply filters button. It is possible to export the report without any filters applied, then all available SKUs will be generated in the report with a date range between the first time the integration was enabled and the current time.
Below, you will see all available columns in the exported XLSX file.

Customer perspective
With the functionality turned on, customers will see in every place on the website where products are visible (for example product catalog, promotion pages, in the cart) information if the current catalog price is the lowest one with a percentage of how much bigger / smaller it is to the current price (1).
This information is only visible when a selected product has applied a promotional price. Products without a promotional price will not have visible omnibus functionality.
Below you will see examples of the functionality on the website
