    9391== Frequently Asked Questions ==
    9492
    9593= What format should the CSV file be? =
    96 
    97 The CSV file must contain at least two columns: `SKU` and `Catalog Price`. The SKU column should match your WooCommerce product SKUs exactly. Additional columns are ignored, so you can use existing supplier price lists without modification. The plugin supports UTF-8 encoding for international characters.
     94At minimum: `SKU` and `Catalog Price`. Additional columns are ignored. SKUs must match existing products. UTF-8 is supported.
    9895
    9996= How do markup and VAT calculations work? =
    100 
    101 The plugin uses a simple formula: `Final Price = (Catalog Price + Markup%) + VAT%`. You can configure both percentages in the settings, and the plugin shows a real-time preview of calculations before applying changes. For example, with 20% markup and 10% VAT: a $100 catalog price becomes $132.
     97`Final Price = (Catalog Price + Markup%) + VAT%`. Configure both percentages and preview results in real time.
    10298
    10399= Can I update variable products? =
    104 
    105 Yes! The plugin supports both simple products and variable product variations. When working with variable products, you can update individual variations by their specific SKUs, giving you granular control over variant pricing.
     100Yes. Update variations by their specific SKUs for granular control.
    106101
    107102= What happens if a SKU isn't found? =
    108 
    109 Products with unmatched SKUs are automatically skipped and listed in the detailed report. The plugin never creates new products - it only updates existing ones, ensuring your catalog structure remains intact.
     103Items with unmatched SKUs are skipped and listed in the report. The plugin does not create new products.
    110104
    111105= Can I undo price changes? =
     106Export prices via CSV before bulk updates to keep a rollback file. The plugin also tracks updated products per session.
    112107
    113 While there's no automatic undo feature, we recommend exporting your current prices via CSV before making bulk changes. This creates a backup you can re-import if needed. The plugin also tracks which products were updated during each session.
    114 
    115 = Is the plugin compatible with other WooCommerce extensions? =
    116 
    117 Yes, the plugin is designed to work with standard WooCommerce pricing and is compatible with most themes and extensions. It supports WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and follows WordPress coding standards.
     108= Is it compatible with other extensions? =
     109Yes. It uses standard WooCommerce pricing and supports HPOS.
    118110
    119111= How do I handle international characters in SKUs? =
    120 
    121 The plugin fully supports UTF-8 encoding and international characters. It includes intelligent SKU generation that converts special characters to URL-friendly formats (e.g., "Ñoño" becomes "nono") while maintaining product matching accuracy.
     112UTF-8 is fully supported. The plugin can normalize special characters to a safe format (e.g., “Ñoño” → “nono”) while matching correctly.
    122113
    123114= Can I see a preview before updating prices? =
    124 
    125 Absolutely! Both the CSV import and direct management interfaces show real-time previews of price calculations. You can see exactly what the new prices will be before confirming any changes.
     115Yes. Both CSV and Direct Management show real-time previews.
