# Price history

Content Egg can save the price change points to its own database. Go to `Content Egg > Settings > Price alerts` and make sure the `Price history` option is checked.

Each time the product is updated, the plugin will save the values of the old and new prices to **its own database**. Then, you can display the history of price changes using special general shortcodes:

```
[content-egg-block template=price_history]
```

This shortcode will display data for **the cheapest product on the page**.

You can also use module shortcodes to display a specific module's data, for example:

```
[content-egg module=Awin template=price_tracker_alert]
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Since the plugin uses its own database, the chart can be displayed only after several price updates.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that Amazon's rules prohibit historical price data from being displayed. As such, we don't recommend using this feature for the Amazon module.
{% endhint %}
