• Price change settings - configuration of modification type and value
• Preview changes - table showing the effect before application
• Application of changes - performing the actual operation on the products

6. product filtering system

An advanced filtering system allows precise selection of products for modification:

Filter type	Description of operation	Example of application
Category	Selection of products from a specific category	Only products from the "Electronics" category
Minimum price	Products with prices greater than or equal to the value	Products more expensive than PLN 50
Maximum price	Products with prices less than or equal to the value	Products cheaper than PLN 500
Minimum quantity	Products with quantity in stock greater than or equal to	Products with more than 10 items
Maximum quantity	Products with less than or equal to the quantity in stock	Products with small stocks (less than 5 items)
Only active	Filter by product activity status	Only products visible in the store

Combining filters
All filters can be combined with each other, which allows for very precise selection. For example:

• Products from the category "Clothing" with prices between 100 and 300 PLN
• All active products with more than 20 items
• Products cheaper than £50 with small stocks

7 Types of price changes

The module offers three main price modification methods that cover all price management needs:

1. percentage change
Allows you to increase or decrease prices by a certain percentage.

• A positive value (+15) increases prices by 15%
• A negative value (-10) reduces prices by 10%
• Example: price 100 PLN + 15% = 115 PLN

2. change by a fixed amount
It adds or subtracts a specific amount from each price.

• Positive value (+5) adds 5 zloty to each price
• Negative value (-3) subtracts PLN 3 from each price
• Example: price 100 PLN + 5 PLN = 105 PLN

3. value setting directly
Sets a specific price for all selected products.

• All products receive the same price
• Example: setting a value of PLN 29.99 for all products
• Useful for unifying prices under promotions

Modification field

• Net price - price modification without VAT (gross price recalculated automatically)
• Gross price - price modification with VAT (net price automatically recalculated)

8. rounding and price ends

The module offers seven price rounding methods that allow automatic adjustment to popular price tips:

Rounding type	Description of operation	Example (PLN 23.47)
No	No	PLN 23.47
To the full zloty	Rounding to the nearest whole value	PLN 23.00
For .99 tips	Setting the tip to .99	PLN 23.99
For .49 tips	Setting the tip to .49	PLN 23.49
Up	Round up to full value	PLN 24.00
Down	Rounding down to full value	PLN 23.00
Nearest	Mathematical rounding to the nearest value	PLN 23.00

Psychology of pricing
Different price tips have different effects on customers' perception of price:

• Ends .99 - suggest opportunity, often used in promotions
• .49 tips - alternative to .99, less aggressive
• Full gold - suggest premium, quality, elegance

9. backup system

One of the key features of the module is an automatic backup system that ensures data security:

Automatic backups
Before each mass operation, the system automatically backs up the current prices of all modified products. This way, in case of an error or unsatisfactory results, you can quickly restore the previous prices.

Manual creation of copies
In addition, administrators can back up all product prices in the store manually at any time by clicking the "Back up manually" button.

Backup management

• List of backups - overview of all backups created
• Backup information - creation date, type, number of products, user
• Restore - one-click restoration of prices from selected copy
• Removal - possibility to delete old backups

Types of backups

• Automatic - created before the massive operation
• Manual - created by admin

10. change history and logging

The module automatically records each price change in a detailed log system. Each entry includes:

• The date and time of the operation
• Product identifier and name
• The previous price of the product (net)
• New price after change (net)
• Percentage change in value
• Details of the user who performed the operation

Advanced log filters
The history of changes can be filtered by:

• Product ID - display of changes for a specific product
• Time interval - from date to date
• All parameters at the same time - filter combination

Statistics and reports
The log panel displays useful statistics:

• Total changes - total number of modifications made
• Changes today - number of operations in the current day
• Changes this week - number of operations in the current week
• Miscellaneous products - the number of unique products that were modified

Log management

• Pagination - partitioning of large data sets into pages
• Cleaning the logs - possibility to delete all entries
• Switching on/off - control over the recording of changes

11. module settings

The module offers a rich set of configuration options divided into categories:

General settings

• Test mode - simulation of changes without saving in the database

Default settings for price modification

• Default price change type - percentage, fixed value or direct
• Default field for modification - net or gross price
• Default rounding after change - preferred rounding method

Technical settings

• Logging changes - enable/disable the log system
• Backup before each operation - automatic creation of backups

Advanced (for developers/administrators)

• Maximum number of products per operation - limit to prevent timeouts (default 1000)

12. test mode

Test mode is a secure feature that allows you to simulate changes without actually storing them in the database:

Activation of test mode

1. Go to the "Settings" tab
2. In the "General settings" section, enable "Test mode (simulation)"
3. Save your settings

Operation in test mode

• All functions work normally (filters, preview, calculations)
• Product prices are not actually changed in the database
• No backups are made
• Changes are not logged
• A message indicating the test mode is displayed

Test mode applications

• Configuration testing - checking the operation of filters and calculations
• Staff training - learning to use the module without risk
• Verification of changes - checking the effects before the actual operation
• Presentations - demonstration of the module's capabilities

13 Troubleshooting

No products meeting the criteria were found

1. Check filter settings - perhaps they are too restrictive
2. Make sure that the products in the selected category actually exist
3. Check price and quantity ranges
4. Check if products are active (if "Active only" filter enabled)

The maximum number of products has been exceeded

1. Increase the limit under "Settings" > "Advanced"
2. Use more restrictive filters to reduce the number of products
3. Divide the operation into smaller parts (e.g., by category)

Errors when saving changes

1. Check database permissions
2. Make sure there are no conflicts with other modules
3. Check PrestaShop error logs
4. Clear the store's cache

Problems with the license

1. Check that the license key has been entered correctly
2. Make sure the store has internet access (online verification)
3. Verify that the domain complies with the license
4. Contact COCOS support in case of activation problems

14 FAQS.

Can I undo a massive price change?
Yes, if you have automatic backups enabled, you can restore previous prices from the "Backups" tab. Each automatic copy is created before the mass change operation.

How big a store can the module support?
The module has been tested with stores containing tens of thousands of products. The default limit of 1000 products per operation can be increased in advanced settings.

Do price changes affect promotional prices?
The module modifies the main price of the product (the "price" field in the database). Promotional prices (specific prices) are not automatically modified. If you need to modify the promotional prices as well, it should be done separately.

How does the VAT calculation work?
The module automatically retrieves the VAT rate assigned to each product and recalculates prices between net and gross. If the product does not have a tax group assigned, the default VAT rate from PrestaShop settings is used.

Can I use the module to reduce all prices by a certain percentage?
Yes, select the "Percentage" change type and enter a negative value, such as -20 for 20% price reduction. In the preview, you will see the exact effects before application.

What happens if the calculated price is negative?
The module includes a safety feature - if the calculated price would be negative, it will be automatically set to 0.00. You will be informed about it in the change preview.

Can I filter products by supplier or brand?
Currently, the module supports filtering by category, price, quantity and activity status. Filtering by supplier or brand may be added in future versions based on user needs.

How often should I make backups?
We recommend leaving the automatic backups option enabled. It's a good idea to create manual backups before major structural changes to the store or before performing several bulk operations.

Does the module affect the performance of the store?
The module has been optimized for performance. During normal store browsing, speed is not affected. Bulk operations may temporarily increase the server load, so we recommend performing them during lower traffic hours.

Can I transfer the license to another store?
The license is assigned to one domain. If you change your store's domain, contact COCOS support to transfer the license. The transfer process is free of charge.

How long are change logs kept?
Logs are stored indefinitely until they are manually deleted by the administrator. We recommend periodically clearing old logs to avoid overloading the database.

Can I export my change history?
Currently, the module does not have a built-in export function, but all data is stored in standard MySQL tables and can be exported by the database administrator.

What happens when the license expires?
When the license expires, the module will go into read-only mode - you will be able to view logs and backups, but you will not be able to perform new bulk operations. Backup restore functions will remain available.

Does the module support multilingual stores?
Yes, the module fully supports multilingual stores. The admin interface adapts to the language of the PrestaShop panel, and product names are displayed in the language of the context.

How often is the module updated?
The module is regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of PrestaShop and to introduce new features. Holders of a valid license have access to all updates free of charge.

Can I use the module on a test environment?
Yes, the license allows you to use the module also on test subdomains (e.g. test.mojsklep.pl) and local development environments. Please refer to the license terms and conditions for details.

If you are running a store on PrestaShop and need a professional price management tool, we recommend using CC Mass Price Change module, which will ensure the security of operations and full control over the price modification process.
