Compare at Price

The Compare at Price is the original price for a product if it's on sale. You can use the Ablestar Bulk Product Editor to modify variant Compare at Prices in bulk.

Notes

• 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
• At the end of 2020 Shopify temporarily announced that you could no longer have a price that was greater than the compare at price. They reversed this policy in January 2021.

In-App Edits

When you edit the Compare at Price field you can modify the Price field at the same time in the following ways:

• Set the Price to the current Compare at Price value. This can be used to end sales
• Set the Price to a fix value, for example $10

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
