In the evolving landscape of e-commerce, staying compliant with legal regulations is paramount for online businesses. For PrestaShop store owners operating within the European Union, the EU Omnibus Directive has introduced significant changes, particularly concerning price reduction announcements. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines and damage customer trust. But what if there was a simple, effective solution?
Enter Omniprice – PrestaShop Omnibus Directive Compatibility Module. This powerful module is designed to bring your PrestaShop store into full compliance with the latest EU regulations, ensuring you avoid legal pitfalls and maintain transparency with your customers.
What is the EU Omnibus Directive and Why Does It Matter?
The EU Omnibus Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/2161) aims to strengthen consumer protection in the digital single market. A key requirement of this directive, especially relevant for e-commerce stores, is the transparent display of price reductions. When you announce a price reduction, you must now clearly indicate the lowest price of the product applied by your store during a period of at least 30 days prior to the application of the current reduction.
- Enhanced Consumer Protection: Prevents misleading price drop claims.
- Legal Obligation: A mandatory requirement for all businesses selling goods or services to EU consumers.
- Avoid Fines: Non-compliance can result in substantial penalties imposed by national authorities.
