Black Friday check: discounts, 30-day price, timers, fees, reviews
Enter the address of one product or category page. We read its HTML and show detected problems, with short texts in your shop's language that you can paste. We show only detected problems – never a compliance certificate.
Black Friday 2026 is on 27 November. The 30 days before it start on 28 October 2026 – the lowest price in that period is the price your Black Friday discount must be based on.
Checking… this can take up to 10 seconds.
We do not know your price history. We cannot see which prices you used in the last 30 days, so we cannot tell whether the price shown is really the lowest one. We check only that the information is there and, where possible, that the percentage matches it. We read one page as a visitor sees it before clicking anything: we do not run JavaScript, open the cart or the checkout. Prices loaded later by scripts may be missing. No problem detected does not mean the page complies with the law. This is not legal advice.
What we check
- Price reductions: struck-through prices and “-X%” labels.
- Whether the lowest price of the 30 days before the reduction is shown next to them, and – where we can read the numbers – whether the percentage is calculated from that price.
- Pressure: countdown timers and “only 2 left” messages.
- Signs of fees added late: service fees, prices without VAT, no delivery cost information.
- Reviews: whether the page says if and how reviews are checked.
The rules behind the check
Every announcement of a price reduction must show the lowest price the shop applied in at least the 30 days before the reduction, and the reduction must be calculated from that price (Price Indication Directive 98/6/EC, Art. 6a, added by Directive (EU) 2019/2161; EU Court of Justice, case C-330/23). False claims that an offer is available only for a very limited time are banned (Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005/29/EC, Annex I, point 7). The total price with taxes and all extra costs must be shown before the order (Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU, Art. 6). A shop that shows reviews must say whether and how it checks that they come from customers who used or bought the product (Directive 2005/29/EC, Art. 7(6)). Rules in your country may add details.
