Law about sales
From 28th May 2022, any price reduction must indicate the previous price applied by the seller before the
price reduction is applied.
The previous price is the lowest price applied by the seller to all consumers during the last thirty days
before the price reduction is applied.
You can find more details on this regulation in Article L 121-1-1 of the French Consumer Code.
Lengow intervention
We don't proceed to any injection of values on demand (via csv file), we had too many side effects at the end of the sale periods (wrong price, sales prices exported when the sales are over…) causing too many errors. This requires you to go through a specific field in your raw field or through optimisations in Lengow (Rules).
