Features

• Price alert form on the product page (buy widget), toggleable per sales channel via plugin configuration
• GDPR-clean double opt-in: subscriptions are created unconfirmed with a one-time confirmation token; unconfirmed subscriptions are never notified
• Optional target price: notify when the price reaches or falls below the customer's wish price instead of any drop
• Hourly scheduled check (coding9_price_alert.check_price_drops): compares confirmed subscriptions against the current gross price and sends the notification mail once the subscription is marked notified only after the mail went out, so transient mail failures are retried and double mails are impossible
• Coding9OmnibusPrice soft dependency: when the Omnibus plugin is installed, its recorded price history provides the reference price; otherwise the price captured at subscription time is used. No hard dependency in either direction.
• Editable mail templates: confirmation and notification templates are registered as regular Shopware mail templates (DE/EN) and can be customised in the administration
• Admin module (Marketing Price Alerts): a list of every subscription with product, subscriber email, price at subscription, optional wish price and double-opt-in status so you can see live demand per product. Backed by the coding9_price_alert_subscription entity, also reachable through the auto-generated admin API (/api/coding9-price-alert-subscription).

Screenshots

Real, CI-captured screenshots (generate_media job Playwright against a seeded demo shop, not hand-made tiles) live in docs/imgs/screenshots/:

The demo data behind these shots is produced by ci-seed-demo.sql (six subscriptions across the lifecycle: confirmed-and-waiting, confirmed-with-wish- price, already-notified, and a pending double opt-in). The storefront shot is deep-linked via /price-alert/showcase, which forwards to the first product and pre-opens the form so the signup fields are visible without a click.
