> price history so you can see when sales are fake

This is now a law enforced in European Union to display such history (at least the lowest price in last 30 or more days so customer knows if the price was not fake rised just before lowering it and calling it a sale). WooCommerce has a plugin for that now[1].

They implemented it before it was mandated by EU. IANAL but they didint have to implement it, since switzerland is not in EU

But Galaxus is also active/targeting Germany/Austria so they would have to implement it

Germany and Asutria are a different instance of the shop with different stock. There are several differences between these shops. That wouldn't be the issue

Would that mean that amazon.fr / amazon.de would be required to provide that information?

I've never noticed it, maybe it's not in an obvious place.

depends if German and French gov already implemented this EU directive. Different countries implement it in different pace. For example Poland already has this law in power and amazon.pl is aligned to it.

"Najniższa ostatnia cena: 179zł" just under the price is the text required by EU directive.
