Optional: Modifications to Price

While you are editing the 'Compare-at Price' field you can modify the 'Price' field in parallel by clicking on the Modifications to Price. You can set the price in the following ways:

• Don't modify the price
• 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

Additional procedures:

• Learn how to swap prices if they are in the wrong order
• Use the rounding and compare-at price options 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.
