Sales where the regular price went up first, found and put right
Find sale products whose regular price was raised shortly before the sale, so the discount looks bigger than it is, and set the prices right with your approval.

Check my products on sale now in [all categories / the category I name] and list the ones whose regular price was raised before the sale started, with the price shown as previous, the lowest price of the 30 days before the discount, and the sale price. For each one, show me what you would change so the sale is shown against the right previous price, for example putting back the earlier regular price. Wait for my approval before changing any product. Also tell me which products have too short a price history to tell.

Find sales whose regular price was raised first and propose the fix for my approval.
What happens
- The AI app compares each sale's previous price with the lowest price of the 30 days before the discount (10 days for products sold for less than 30), from your Omnibus plugin or SAR's own price history.
- It picks out the products whose regular price was raised before the sale, and those whose history is too short to tell.
- It reads each flagged product and shows you the change it proposes.
- Each product change waits for your approval in SAR, and the previous values can be restored.

Sales shown against an honest previous price. The check helps you; it is not legal advice, so confirm what applies with your accountant or lawyer.
