Documentation
Step-by-step guides for setup, rate sources, product pricing, synchronisation, Pro controls, reporting and troubleshooting.
Getting started
- What Price Anchor is — and is not The one distinction that decides whether this is the right plugin for your store, and the design decision everything else follows from.
- Installation Requirements, install order, and the safe way to bring an existing catalogue onto anchored pricing.
- Quick start From a fresh install to a correctly priced product in about ten minutes.
- How the pricing pipeline works The exact sequence from source amount to stored WooCommerce price, and which value is authoritative at each step.
Configuration
- Settings reference Every field on WooCommerce → Price Anchor → Settings, what it changes, and the mistakes each one invites.
- Rate sources The three built-in providers, what each sends and receives, and how to run the plugin with no outbound requests at all.
- Markup Why a raw central-bank rate is not a selling rate, and how to choose a percentage you will not regret.
- Rounding rules Every rounding mode with a worked example, plus what happens in currencies that have no decimal places.
Products and pricing
- Pricing a product The product editor for simple and variable products, source sale prices, and what the preview under the field is telling you.
- Products that stay in your store currency Why "native" is a distinct state rather than "anchored to a currency that happens to match", and why that distinction protects you later.
- Changing your WooCommerce store currency What happens to anchored and native products, and the order of operations that avoids a bad afternoon.
Operations
- The sync engine How catalogue repricing is scheduled, batched, resumed and finished — and what each job state actually means.
- Rate validation and failure behaviour What happens when a rate source lies, breaks or disappears — and why the answer is always "keep yesterday's number".
- Order provenance What Price Anchor records on every anchored order line, where to find it, and why a rate change can never rewrite history.
- Status and diagnostics Where to look first when something is off, and what to include in a support request so it can be answered in one reply.
Price Anchor Pro
- Pro overview, licensing and expiry What Pro adds, how the licence works, and exactly what happens to your data if it lapses.
- Additional source currencies Running more than one supplier currency across a catalogue, and what happens to those products if Pro goes away.
- Rate Guard and the margin floor The two Pro controls that exist for one specific fear: the rate moved overnight and you sold a week of stock below cost.
- Acquisition cost and gross product profit Locking what a product actually cost you, stamping it on the order, and the report that turns both into margin — plus what that report deliberately excludes.
- Bulk tools, records and WP-CLI Assigning source currencies at scale, the CSV model and its partial-commit behaviour, the audit log, and the command line.
Reference
- Troubleshooting The symptoms people actually report, in the order worth checking them.
- Compatibility Which WooCommerce surfaces and third-party plugins were executed against, and the honest boundary of what a compatibility claim covers.
- Privacy and external services Exactly what leaves your server, what never does, and how to run the plugin with no outbound request at all.
- Hooks and filters The public extension contract the free plugin exposes — the same one Pro is built on.
- Uninstall and data retention What deactivating or deleting each plugin removes, what it never removes, and why.
