A Discount Code for Only the *Original* Price (Ignoring Sale Prices)

Topic summary

A merchant seeks a way to apply discount codes exclusively to original product prices, ignoring any active sale prices. For example, a 50% off code should discount an item’s $80 original price (resulting in $40), even if the item is currently on sale for $75.

Current Status:

  • No native Shopify solution exists for this functionality
  • Multiple users have encountered the same limitation
  • One commenter describes this as “such a basic problem,” highlighting frustration with the platform’s built-in discount capabilities

Workaround Found:

  • One Shopify Plus user commissioned a custom private app through Storetasker to achieve this behavior
  • The solution requires a developer-built app hosted on an external server
  • Compatibility with standard Shopify plans (non-Plus) remains uncertain

Outstanding Needs:

  • Other users continue seeking solutions or app recommendations
  • One participant requested developer contact information to pursue a similar custom solution

The discussion remains active with no readily available app or native feature identified.
