Tips

  • To place the badge elsewhere on the product page, add the Sale badge block in the theme editor and drag it.
  • Who sees badges sets the badge's text for each language; on Pro and Business it can also limit badges to some customers or countries.
  • If a product's variants have different discounts, its card says “Up to” the biggest one.

What to check

  • Store check: Sale badges in your theme and Badges on your store's pages are green.
  • Open a product that is in a running sale and look for the badge.

Common mistakes

  • Forgetting Save in the theme editor after Turn on in theme: the badges stay off.
  • Leaving Show sale badges on my store off: it hides every badge at once.
  • Looking for a badge on a product whose price was changed by hand during the sale: its badge comes off.

Your questions

Does it change my theme's code?

No. The badge is a theme app embed you turn on in the theme editor, and it goes away with the app.

Why don't I see the badge?

Check that the Sale badges app embed is on in your published theme and saved, and that the product is in a running sale. Store check tells you which.
