Price History Widget
Show your customers exactly how prices have moved. Build trust, reduce hesitation, and give shoppers the transparency they expect.
What the addon does
CS-Cart does not track product price history out of the box. Price History Widget adds that capability automatically — recording every change and surfacing it as a chart customers actually understand.
Automatic tracking
Every time you save a product, the current price is recorded. Nothing to remember, nothing to click.
Color-coded trend
Green when price fell, red when it rose, gray when stable. Shoppers understand instantly.
Zero page impact
The chart is pure SVG — no external scripts, no CDN calls. Your product page stays fast.
Full history tab
Optionally show a dedicated tab with a detailed chart and full price history table with date, price, and type labels.
Promotion tracking
When promotions are active, the discounted price is also recorded — history reflects what customers actually paid.
Multi-Vendor ready
Each vendor's price history is fully isolated. Vendor A cannot see or affect Vendor B's history.
Up and running in minutes
Install once, then the addon works silently in the background.
