How to set compare-at prices for a sale on Shopify

Every variant has a price and an optional compare-at price. When the compare-at price is higher, most themes show it crossed out beside the price and add a sale badge.

In many countries the crossed-out price must be one you actually charged, and the EU asks for the lowest price of the previous 30 days. Check the rules where you sell before a sale goes live.

1. 1Open the product. For a product with variants, open each variant.
2. 2In Pricing, enter the compare-at price above the price.
3. 3Save. To end the sale, clear the compare-at price.

1. 1In Products, tick the products and choose Bulk edit, then add the compare-at price column and fill it in for each variant.
2. 2For hundreds of variants, export a CSV, keep a copy, fill the Compare-at price column and import it with the option to overwrite products with matching handles.
3. 3Check a few product pages to see the sale badge.

1. 1Ask with a rule: Set compare-at prices for every product in Sale, 15 percent above the current price.
2. 2Ecomsync applies the rule to every variant, in your store's currency, and keeps each price inside the cap and floor you set in guardrails.
3. 3Review every variant with its SKU, the current and new value. Large runs ask you to type the store name before they apply.
4. 4When the sale ends, ask Ecomsync to clear them, or undo the run within your plan's undo window.
