Guide for Omnibus Price Tracker for Magento 2

Make your Magento store compliant with the pricing requirements of the EU Omnibus Directive. Properly indicate Omnibus Prices to provide customers with clear and transparent pricing information and protect your store from heavy fines.

• Display the lowest product price (Omnibus Price) from the last 30 days before the price change
• Place Omnibus Prices both on product and category pages
• Automatically calculate and show the minimum prices for all or only for discounted products
• Track and manage price change history from the convenient grid
• REST API Support

To configure the general extension settings, please go to Stores → Configuration → Amasty Extensions → Extensions → Omnibus Price Tracker → General.

Enable Price History - select Yes to enable the extension and start collecting price change data.

Price History Auto-Cleaning - set to Yes if you’d like to have price change records automatically removed after the specified time period in days expires.

Auto-Cleaning Period in Days - specify the number of days after which old records will be removed automatically.

Label - define the general content (and its structure) to display in the Omnibus Price blocks on the frontend.

Default template:

The lowest price from last {days} days: {omnibus_price}

You can customize this default template by adding variables, adjusting wording, and modifying formatting with HTML tags to suit your preferences.

Available variables:

• {days} - reflects the value specified in the Period in Days setting;
• {omnibus_price} - shows the lowest recorded price for the product from the last {days};
• {percentage} - displays the percentage difference between the current and the lowest price, based on the option selected in the Percentage Difference setting: ‘Only Positive’, ‘Only Negative’, ‘All Except Zero’.

Supported basic HTML tags: <span>, <i>, <u>, and <b>.

Customized template (example):

Last {days} days lowest price: {omnibus_price} | <b>{percentage}</b>

Display Omnibus Prices On - choose where you want to display Omnibus Prices:

• None;
• Product Pages;
• Product and Category Pages.

Display Price History Log on Backend Product Pages - When enabled, the price change history for simple (incl. as part of configurable, grouped, and bundle products), virtual, and downloadable products will be available in the Omnibus Price tab on their edit pages.

Period in Days - set up the exact period in days prior to the price changes which the extension will use for the lowest price (Omnibus Price) automatic calculation.

Display Mode - select the product type to display Omnibus Prices on:

• Discounted Products - products with valid discounts;
• All Products - all enabled products.

Percentage Difference - select the condition for displaying the percentage difference between the current and the lowest (Omnibus) price:

• Only Positive - if the current price is lower than the Omnibus price. The percentage difference will be displayed with a negative sign on the frontend, e.g. -10%;
• Only Negative - if the current price is higher than the Omnibus price. The percentage difference will be displayed with a positive sign on the frontend, e.g. +10%;
• All Except Zero - includes both conditions above, excluding cases where there is no difference between the current and Omnibus price.

Display Omnibus Prices of Child Products - If enabled, child (simple) products of configurable products will be displayed with their own Omnibus price instead of the parent product's Omnibus price.

Hide Omnibus Prices for Selected Group(s) - choose the customer group(s) you don’t want to show the blocks with the lowest product price (Omnibus Price).

The inclusion or exclusion of taxes in Omnibus Prices depends on the general configuration of tax display and application settings for regular catalog prices (Catalog Prices, Display Product Prices in Catalog). To check these settings, navigate to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Tax → Calculation Settings / Price Display Settings tabs:

After the Omnibus Price Tracker extension is installed and enabled, it starts tracking price changes. All these price changes are recorded on the grid where you can monitor and filter price change history to meet your particular needs.

Filter the recordings on the grid by SKU, ID, date, new and latest price, website, or use combinations of different filters to rapidly find the ones you exactly need.

Manually delete unnecessary or old price recordings by choosing them on the grid and clicking on the Delete option in the mass action dropdown.

Also, clicking the Restore button enables you to clear old price change recordings and refresh the Price Change History log. Afterward, the extension captures the latest product price updates and records them in the log to establish a basis for displaying the Omnibus prices.

Go directly to the product edit pages by clicking on the View Product options in the Action column.

Here is an example of the product page with a special price applied:

This is the product page with the several price changes:

The Omnibus Price Tracker extension allows to capture price changes for each website separately, supporting various currencies. It records price changes on the grid and displays the lowest prices on the frontend, according to the currency and price values configured for products on each specific website.

To utilize this functionality, ensure that the Catalog Price Scope feature is configured for the Website setting. Otherwise, it won’t work. To review the configuration, navigate to Stores → Configuration → Catalog → Price → Catalog Price Scope.

If you want to check which currency is assigned to a particular website or change it if needed, go to Stores → Configuration → General → Currency Setup. Remember to switch to the needed website before making any changes.

View how the price changes from different websites are recorded on the grid:

You can conveniently filter the recordings by website.

Here are frontend examples:

Main Website (dollar):

Italian Website (euro):

The extension includes REST API Endpoint support. Store admins may use the following methods to get information about Omnibus prices:

• “/V1/products” method=“GET”
• “/V1/products{sku}” method=“GET”

You can obtain Omnibus price information (if available) when retrieving product information via GraphQL. An example of such an extended GraphQL request is provided below:

query {
  products(
  filter: { sku: { eq: "SKU" } }
) {
  items {
    am_omnibus_lowest_price_message
    am_omnibus_lowest_price
  }
}
}
