With Shopify alone
Shopify's reports can show how fast products sell. Turning that into a clearance still means picking the slow products, choosing a discount and changing every price by hand, then changing them back.
A deep clearance discount on a product with a thin margin sells it at a loss, and Shopify's discounts don't look at cost.
Step by step with Market Manager
- Start from the Clearance template, or pick the products yourself; on Pro, target them by stock level.
- Set the discount and check the preview: each variant's new price and the lowest price your price protection allows.
- Schedule it. When it ends, every original price comes back.
- On Business, open Slow stock: see what hasn't sold and the money held in it, and clear it in one click or with a daily autopilot.
What Market Manager does
- A Clearance template that opens the sale form filled in
- Targets products by stock level on Pro
- Keeps every clearance price above cost plus margin, a floor or a maximum discount
- On Business: Slow stock, with a clearance in one click or a daily autopilot
- On Business: a discount that grows step by step while products don't sell; a product that sells keeps its price
What it doesn't
- Slow stock, the clearance autopilot and the growing discount are on the Business plan.
- Margin over cost needs Cost per item in Shopify; the floor and the maximum discount work without it.
- On the Free plan a sale holds up to 25 products and one sale runs at a time.

Your questions
Can a clearance sale go below cost?
Not past your price protection rules: a variant that would go below cost plus margin, your floor or the maximum discount is capped or skipped, and the preview lists it.
What does the clearance autopilot do?
On Business, Slow stock lists the products that aren't selling and can clear them with a daily autopilot instead of one sale at a time.
Do prices come back after a clearance?
Yes. When the sale ends, every original price comes back, as with any sale in the app.
