What a compare-at price is

It is the higher price your theme shows crossed out next to the price. A product with a compare-at price above its price looks like it's on sale.

Set it for a sale

  • Open a product and find its pricing.
  • Lower the price and put the old price in Compare-at price.
  • For many products, use the bulk editor or a CSV import with both columns.
  • Check a product page: the look of the crossed-out price depends on your theme.

Take it off after

A compare-at price stays until someone removes it. Left in place, it shows a saving that no longer exists. In the EU, a price cut must also refer to the lowest price of the 30 days before it, so keep a record of your prices.

With Market Manager

During a sale, compare-at shows each original price; when the sale ends, the price and the compare-at go back to what they were.
