Frequently Asked Questions

Does PriceTuneX work with variable products?

Yes! PriceTuneX fully supports WooCommerce variable products. You can update parent products and all their variations simultaneously, or target specific variation types. The plugin intelligently handles complex product structures.

Can I undo price changes if I make a mistake?

Absolutely! PriceTuneX automatically backs up your original prices before any changes. You can restore all products to their previous prices with a single click. This safety feature gives you complete peace of mind.

Will this plugin slow down my website?

Not at all! PriceTuneX is built for performance. It only loads on the admin side when you're using it, has zero impact on your frontend, and uses efficient WooCommerce APIs. Your site speed won't be affected.

How many products can I update at once?

There's no hard limit! PriceTuneX is designed to handle stores of any size. Whether you have 100 products or 10,000+, the plugin efficiently processes updates in batches to ensure reliable performance.

Do I need coding knowledge to use PriceTuneX?

Zero coding required! PriceTuneX features an intuitive point-and-click interface. Simply choose your pricing rules, preview the changes, and apply. It's designed for store owners, not developers.

What's the difference between the price targeting modes?

• Smart Selection: Updates the price customers actually see (sale price if active, otherwise regular price) - recommended for most users
• Regular Price Only: Only updates regular prices, leaves sale prices untouched
• Sale Price Only: Only updates products that have active sale prices
• Both Prices: Updates both regular and sale prices by the same amount

Does it work with other pricing plugins?

PriceTuneX works by updating WooCommerce's native price fields, so it's compatible with most other plugins. However, dynamic pricing plugins may override the changes. We recommend testing with your specific setup.

Can I target specific product categories?

Yes! You can target products by:

• All products in your store
• Specific categories (supports hierarchical categories)
• Product tags
• Product types (simple, variable, etc.)
• Price ranges (e.g., products between $50-$100)

What happens to sale prices when I update regular prices?

This depends on your target price type setting:

• Smart Selection: Updates sale prices if they exist, otherwise regular prices
• Regular Price Only: Updates only regular prices; if sale price becomes higher than new regular price, it's automatically removed
• Both Prices: Updates both regular and sale prices maintaining the same discount amount

Is there a log of all price changes?

Yes! PriceTuneX keeps detailed activity logs showing:

• What changes were made and when
• Which user made the changes
• How many products were affected
• Detailed descriptions of the pricing rules applied

You can view, refresh, or clear these logs from the admin interface.

Can I use psychological pricing with any adjustment type?

Yes! Psychological pricing (like .99 endings) can be applied with both percentage and fixed amount adjustments. The rounding is applied after the price calculation, so a $47.50 product with +10% and .99 rounding becomes $51.99.

What if I have a large store with thousands of products?

PriceTuneX is optimized for large stores:

• Efficient batch processing prevents timeouts
• Memory management handles large datasets
• Progress indicators show update status
• You can target specific segments instead of all products to reduce processing time

Does it support custom product types?

PriceTuneX works with WooCommerce's standard product types (simple, variable) out of the box. For custom product types, developers can use the provided filters to extend support.
