Shopify: How to Set Sale Prices for Products with Variants

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting sale prices for products with variants in your Shopify store. By the end of this guide, you will understand how to properly configure both the sale price and the compare-at price, ensuring that your discounts are displayed correctly on your product and collections pages.

Step 1: Access Your Product Settings

• Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard.
• Navigate to the Products section from the left-hand menu.
• Select the specific product you want to adjust. If the product has variants, click on the variant you wish to modify.

Step 2: Set the Sale Price

• In the product variant settings, locate the Price field.
• Enter the sale price you want to offer. This price must be lower than the compare-at price to display the discount correctly.
• For example, if you want to sell a shirt for $20, set the Price to 20.

Step 3: Set the Compare-at Price

• Find the Compare at price field below the Price field.
• Enter the original price of the product before the discount. This price should be higher than the sale price.
• Continuing with the previous example, if the shirt originally sold for $30, set the Compare at price to 30.

Step 4: Save Your Changes

• After entering both prices, scroll down and click the Save button to apply your changes.
• Check the product page to ensure the strikethrough effect is displayed correctly, indicating a sale.

Step 5: Removing a Sale Price

• If you wish to remove the sale price, go back to the product variant settings.
• Set the Price field back to the original price (e.g., 30).
• Set the Compare at price to 0 to clear the discount indication.
• Click Save to finalize your changes.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively manage sale prices for variants in your Shopify store. Setting correct sale and compare-at prices not only helps in showcasing discounts but also enhances customer trust. Next, consider exploring additional features in Shopify, such as promotional codes or bulk price adjustments, to further optimize your sales strategy.
