Description
Web Studio Šime – Sidrena cijena HR for WooCommerce is a free WordPress and WooCommerce plugin for technical management of anchor/reference prices and machine-readable public price lists.
WooCommerce is a trademark of Automattic Inc. This plugin is an independent extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WooCommerce or Automattic.
The plugin stores the anchor price separately from the current WooCommerce price. A normal product price change does not automatically overwrite the stored anchor price. Products, services, and WooCommerce variations are supported.
Main features:
- anchor/reference price and reference date per item and variation
- separate handling of products and services
- optional anchor-price display in product archives and single-product pages
- optional display in cart and checkout
- tracking of the lowest applied price during the previous 30 days before a special sale
- separate public CSV/XML price lists for products and services
- a public human-readable digital price-list page
- archived price-list states with duplicate-state protection
- automatic and manual snapshot creation
- paginated REST/JSON output
- safe CSV import/export for historical and reference-price data with preview before applying changes
- two original XLSX working templates for products and services
- bulk administration tools for larger catalogs
- an onboarding wizard for business information and price-list settings
- technical checks for missing data
- WP-CLI snapshot command and read-only benchmark
- HPOS compatibility declaration
- Croatian and English administration interface using native WordPress gettext (explicit plugin setting; real bundled Croatian translation)
- WordPress Dashboard status widget
The public product price list uses 11 columns, while the public service price list uses 5 columns. Service entries do not inherit product-only data such as SKU, brand, barcode, or unit of measure.
Important: this plugin is a technical tool. It is not legal advice, a legal opinion, or a guarantee of regulatory compliance. The site owner is responsible for the accuracy of historical prices and for determining which legal requirements apply to the business.
The interface language is selected in plugin Settings independently of the WordPress site/user locale. English is the canonical gettext source; WordPress.org/translate.wordpress.org Croatian packs are supported, with a bundled Croatian fallback. The public digital catalogue and stored statutory price labels remain Croatian. See docs/LOCALIZATION.md.

FAQ
-
Does the plugin automatically change the anchor price when I change a WooCommerce price?
-
No. The anchor price is stored as a separate historical/reference value. A normal change of the current WooCommerce price does not overwrite it.
-
Will the plugin invent a historical price if one is missing?
-
No. Bulk filling from the current regular price is an administrator-triggered action and should be used only when the current regular price is known to match the relevant historical value.
-
Are variable products supported?
-
Yes. Each WooCommerce variation can have its own current, anchor, and reference-price data. The frontend output updates after the customer selects a variation.
-
Can products and services be separated?
-
Yes. The plugin maintains and publishes separate product and service price lists. Product-only fields are not required for service entries.
-
What does the snapshot archive do?
-
It stores previous public price-list states in CSV/XML format. When the exported data has not changed, an identical duplicate snapshot is skipped.
-
Does the plugin send data to third parties?
-
No. The free plugin contains no telemetry or tracking and does not send catalog data to external services. CSV/XML/REST price-list routes are intentionally public while the plugin and WooCommerce are active. The setting for the human-readable digital price list controls the HTML page only; disabling that page does not disable the CSV/XML/REST routes. Review the export scope and included catalog data before activating the plugin.
-
What happens when the plugin is deactivated or deleted?
-
Deactivation does not remove stored anchor-price data or the snapshot archive. The plugin intentionally does not automatically erase those records during uninstall, reducing the risk of accidental loss of historical data.
-
What are the included XLSX files for?
-
They are original Web Studio Šime working templates for product and service price lists. They are included as data files because administrators can download them directly from the Import / Export tab and use them to prepare price-list data.
-
Is there a paid upgrade?
-
Yes. A separate PRO add-on is distributed outside WordPress.org. The free version is fully functional on its own and does not expire or become locked after a trial period. PRO adds advanced administration tools but is not required for the free features to work.
-
Does the plugin guarantee legal compliance?
-
No. The plugin provides technical tools for recording and publishing data. The site owner must verify the legal applicability of the rules and the accuracy of the stored values.
