prisvisning

Prisvisning, or price display, refers to the way prices are presented to consumers for goods and services. It includes price tags on physical products, shelf labels, digital price signs in stores, and the price shown on online product pages. The display typically shows the amount to pay, the currency, and any mandatory charges such as taxes. Clear price presentation helps consumers compare options and make informed purchasing decisions and reduces the risk of misleading pricing.

In retail environments, price displays often include unit prices (for example price per kilogram or per liter) to facilitate comparisons across products. Online, price presentation should be visible before the buyer completes a purchase and can be updated in real time due to promotions, stock changes, or dynamic pricing. Many jurisdictions require that promotions show both the original price and the discounted price and that any temporary price reductions have defined terms.

Regulatory context: Price indications are commonly governed by consumer protection and competition laws. In the European Union, price indications must be clear, accurate, and not misleading; taxes and mandatory charges are typically included or clearly disclosed. National laws further specify requirements for visibility, currency, and presentation, including the display of unit prices and the handling of discounts.

Challenges and best practices: Retailers must maintain price accuracy across channels, ensure timely updates, and avoid deceptive practices such as phantom discounts or hidden fees. Businesses use price management systems to synchronize in-store and online prices and to log price changes for auditing.
