At some point in your eCommerce career, you will want to have a sale. It is a great way to increase revenues, get rid of stock you no longer want and attract new customers. Most eCommerce stores, from large multinational brands to small one-man brands have sales and some will have the products on sale change weekly.

When you add products to Shopify and put them on sale, the customer will see not just the sales price, but also the original price. You will also need to have both of these fields entered into the product details, and this is known as the ‘compare at price’. Product descriptions can also be used to highlight the benefits of the product and why it’s worth buying, even at a discounted price.

Step 2 - Products

Go to your ‘Products’ tab and then find the product you want to put on sale. Click on that product to go into the product.

If you want to put a variant on sale, then you will also need to find the variant that you want to put on sale from the ‘Variant’ section.

Step 3 - Pricing

Within the pricing section, set the ‘compare at price’ to the product’s original price. Then you want to enter the ‘Price’ to the sale price you want to sell the product at. When done, click on the ‘Save’ option.

Adding an Add to Cart Button can make it easy for customers to purchase the product.
