Labels and markets
Edit the label text in ten languages, turn labels on or off per market, and set the exchange-rate tolerance for converted prices.
Label wording
The Labels page lets you replace the label and the discount badge for each of the ten languages OmniBuzz ships with: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Swedish and Czech. Leave a field empty to keep the built-in text.
| Placeholder | Where | Rules |
|---|---|---|
{prior} | Label | Required, once. Replaced by the lowest price. |
{days} | Label | Optional, once. Replaced by the number of days in the window. |
{pct} | Badge | Once, if the badge is not empty. Replaced by the percentage. |
Example label: Lowest price, last {days} days: {prior}. To hide the badge, turn off Show discount percentage in the block settings. An empty field does not hide it.
Each text can be at most 120 characters. <, > and line breaks are rejected. A preview under each field uses sample values: lowest price €49.90, 30 days, 20% off. Reset to default removes your override for that language.
Saving labels takes effect on the storefront without a new price check.
Which text a shopper sees
For the label and the badge separately, the block picks the first match from:
- your text for the shopper’s exact language
- your text for the language part, so a shopper on
de-CHgets your German text - the built-in text
Shoppers on pt-BR get your Portuguese (Portugal) text, if you have set one.
Wording still has to be accurate. The prior price must be the lowest price of the period you state. If you reword the label, keep it true to what the number is.
Labels per market
On the Home page, each market has a switch that turns its labels on or off.
- Default. A market is on when at least one of its countries is in scope of Article 6a: the 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. A market with only other countries, such as Switzerland or the United Kingdom, is off.
- Long country lists. OmniBuzz reads up to 50 regions per market. If a market has more, it cannot see every country, so the market is on.
- Your choice wins. Once you flip a switch, OmniBuzz never changes it again, even when the market’s countries change.
- Plan limit. You cannot turn on more markets than your plan includes. Turning a market off always works.
- After a change. OmniBuzz recomputes the labels shortly after the change. Labels appear or disappear when that run has finished, which takes longer on a large shop. If a market has had no finished price read in the last 2 days, labels appear after the next nightly check.
A market that is off collects no price history and gets no label. When you turn it back on, OmniBuzz carries the last price it saw before the pause across the gap, as if the price had not changed. If you charged less in between, the prior price shown can be too high, and no warning flags it. Treat a market that was off for part of the last 30 days as having incomplete history.
Converted prices
This applies only to markets whose currency differs from your shop currency. Shopify converts those prices with a daily exchange rate, so the live price moves by small amounts although you changed nothing. Without a tolerance, the label would hide every time the rate moved.
The exchange-rate tolerance on the Labels page sets how far the live price may differ from the price OmniBuzz stored before the label hides. It runs from 0% to 5%. The default is 2%. At 0%, the label hides as soon as the converted price differs at all.
Inside the tolerance the block recalculates the percentage from the stored prior price and the live price.
Trade-off. Within the tolerance, a real price change in a converted market looks the same as exchange-rate drift. Until the next nightly check, the label may show a prior price and a percentage that do not reflect your change. A higher tolerance keeps the label visible through bigger rate moves and widens that gap. The Commission’s guidance does not address currency conversion, so this behavior is OmniBuzz’s own reading, not settled law.
The prior price in a converted market comes from that market’s own 30-day history in the currency shoppers see. It is not the shop-currency price converted.
