• Change by fixed amount: Change the compare-at price by a positive or negative number

• Set as percent of Price field: Sets the compare-at price as a positive or negative percentage of the price.
• Set as percent of Cost field: Sets the compare-at price as a positive or negative percentage of cost. If the cost is empty for a variant it will be skipped
• Change by percentage: Changes the compare-at price by a positive or negative percentage

Rounding

The 'Rounding' dropdown gives you several different ways to round your compare-at prices:

• Round decimals: If you enter a value like 99 the decimal portion of the price will get set to that number.

  If you enter a value less than 50 the value of the decimal will be rounded to the nearest increment of that value.

• Round whole number: The compare-at price will be rounded, up or down, to the nearest increment of the value.
• Round whole number up: The compare-at price will be rounded up to the nearest increment of the value

The following table lists some examples for different rounding options:

Also Modifying the Price

When you edit the 'Compare-at Price' field you can modify the 'Price' field by clicking on the Modifications to Price. You can set the price in the following ways:

• Set the price to the current compare-at price (if the compare-at price is not blank)
• Set the price to a fixed value, for example $10

You can use the rounding and compare-at price changes together to quickly run sales.

2. Spreadsheet Edits

The app will use the following rules to update a price from a given cell in a spreadsheet:

• Text around the numbers, like currency names or symbols, are removed
• The comma is treated as a thousands separator
• The period is interpreted as the decimal separator

Please contact us if you are having difficulties with the app extracting the correct number for a price.

✅ Tips and Troubleshooting

• The Compare-at price field is the meant to be used at the original price for a product before it was put on sale
• The Compare-at price field can be blank, zero or a positive number
• If the Compare-at price is greater than the Price, most themes will consider the product to be on sale and will show the Compare at-price with a line through it
• If your primary market is outside of the European Union (EU), the compare-at price might not display for visitors inside the EU. You can change this setting in the Shopify admin.
