The WP Desk Omnibus for WooCommerce is a specialized plugin designed to help online store owners comply with the EU Omnibus Directive. Since January 2023, EU law requires that whenever a price reduction is announced, the seller must also display the lowest price the product was sold for during the previous 30 days.

Core Functions
-
Automatic Price Tracking: The plugin monitors every price change in your store and saves it to a dedicated price history table.
-
Lowest Price Display: It automatically calculates and displays the lowest price from the last 30 days (or a custom interval you set) on the product page.
-
Compliance with Law: It specifically targets the “artificially inflated discounts” issue, ensuring transparency for customers and avoiding legal penalties.
Key Features
-
Customizable Messages: You can edit the text that appears next to the price (e.g., “Lowest price in the last 30 days: $20”).
-
Flexible Placement: Use shortcodes or built-in settings to choose exactly where the info appears—on product pages, in the shop catalog, or even in the cart.
-
Multi-Currency Support: It integrates with WPML to handle different currencies, showing historical prices correctly for international customers.
-
Variant Support: You can choose to show the lowest price for each specific variation or a single “lowest” price for the entire variable product.
-
History Logs: Accessible in the admin panel, showing a clear log of price changes with dates (“Valid from” and “Valid to”).
Why Use It?
-
Avoid Fines: In many EU countries, failure to comply with the Omnibus Directive can result in significant fines (up to 10% of annual turnover in extreme cases).
-
Build Trust: Customers appreciate seeing that a “sale” is a genuine discount rather than a manipulated price hike.
-
Set and Forget: Once configured, the plugin handles the data collection and display automatically without manual entry for every sale.
