keep sale prices above cost on Shopify

Sales that never go below cost

Every sale keeps your rules: cost plus margin, a lowest price or a largest discount. A product that would break one is capped or skipped, and you see which before anything changes.

With Shopify alone

A 40% sale across a collection is quick to set up and easy to regret: a product with a thin margin ends up sold at a loss, and nobody notices until the orders come in.

Checking each product's cost by hand before every sale takes hours, and Shopify's own discounts don't look at cost at all.

Step by step with Market Manager

  1. Add Cost per item to your products in Shopify, if it isn't there yet.
  2. In Market Manager, open Price protection and set your rules: margin over cost, a floor or a maximum discount.
  3. Create a sale as usual. The preview shows the lowest price allowed for each variant and what was capped or skipped.
Every new price before the sale, and Undo for any change after

What Market Manager does

  • Caps every sale at cost plus your margin, a floor or a maximum discount
  • Lists products with no cost, so you can fill it in
  • Shows the lowest price allowed for each variant in the preview
  • The price time machine shows prices as on any day, and puts them back only if you ask

What it doesn't

  • It needs Cost per item in Shopify; without it only the floor and the maximum discount can protect a product.
  • It guards the prices the app sets, not discount codes made elsewhere.
