How To Set Sales Prices To Products and Variants || Shopify Help Center

Setting a sale price on products and variants is a way to discount items without using a discount code. This method shows both the original price and the sale price so your customers can see the price comparison. For example, if you are having a sale and want to discount all fitness trackers, set the sale price on your fitness tracker products so it shows both the sale prices and the original price. The sales price is called the compare at price in Shopify. Seeing both prices helps offer an incentive for customers to purchase as they see the bargain. This video shows how to set the sale price on a product and product variants. First, how to set the sale price on a single variant product. Start in the Shopify admin. Click products. Click on the product you'd like to set a sale price on. Scroll down to the pricing section. In this example, the waterproof fitness tracker has a price of $30. Take the original price of the product and enter it in the compare at price section. Then, adjust the value in the price field to show the new sale price. In this example, the new sale price is $20. The customer sees that this product is now $10 off. The value in compare at price must be higher than the value in price to show a sale. If the price is higher than the compare at price, then the item will not appear as though it's on sale. Click save. Click view to see how the product appears on your online store. Next, how to add a sale price to a product with multiple variants. On the all products tab, click on the product you'd like to set a sale price on. Scroll down to the variant section. In this example, this tracker has 10 variants. Click edit next to the first variant that needs the sale price. This opens the variant product page. Scroll to the pricing section. In this example, the bracelet fitness tracker in the color black has a price of $40. Add the original price of the product to the compare at price field. Then, adjust the price field to show the new sale price. In this example, the new sale price set in the price field is $30. Click save. Click on the next variant that you need to edit and adjust as necessary. To do this quickly, this can also be done in the bulk editor. Watch the video linked above to learn how to use the bulk editor. Click the arrow to go back to the product page. Click view and select the variant you made changes to to see how this product's price appears on your online store. The theme you have published determines how the sale price displays on the online store pages. Some themes, like pop, have badges that display the item is on sale. There are also apps in the Shopify app store that can add sale badges. For single variant products, the sales price often displays with both the compare at price and price. For a product with multiple variants, the sales price displays the lowest sales price available out of all the variants. For more videos on how to grow your business, subscribe now.
