Overview #
When your WooCommerce store guarantees selling products at the best price, make sure that you live up to your buyers’ expectations. For example, if a customer finds another source selling the same product at a lower price and could prove the same, your store must let him prove his words and offer the same pricing for the product in question.
Wondering how to do it? The Best Price plugin in the Booster for WooCommerce Agency and Elite bundles can enable this functionality for your store. It lets you:
- Enable the best price challenge link/button for single product pages
- Enable the best price challenge link/button for archive pages, e.g. category pages
- Adds a pop-up form, giving users a chance to justify their claim, upon the button/link click
- Lets you include/exclude products and product categories from the best price guarantee
- Allows you to modify price request approval/rejection email
- Lets you select the Best Price History Meta Box Columns for admin emailer
- Lets admin approve or reject price change requests from the product page (in the editor)
Using this feature in your online store, you can impress your buyers with the best price guarantee. Even when your claim is not correct, the buyer has a reason to question you, which in turn, results in engagement. If your business finds the claim worthy of attention, you can always approve the price change request and convert the claim to a sale with added trust.
Note: This plugin is not available for the Booster “Pro” plan users.

The process to enable the Best Price Guarantee for the archive pages, e.g. a category or shop page, is very much similar to how we did it for the single product pages. However, the output scope of this setting differs.
You can enable links or buttons for your products on the archive pages, giving your buyers the option to submit the best price claim through a pop-up form from there only. The pop-up form’s contents can be modified using the settings in the Form and Notice Options section from the same plugin settings page.
To configure the best price feature for your archive product pages, consider these steps:
