How can I show the true subtotal before discounts in Order Printer?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A Shopify merchant is struggling with the Order Printer app’s default template, which displays the subtotal after discounts are applied rather than showing the original retail price first, then the discount separately.

The Issue:

  • When customers use discount codes or automatic discounts, the subtotal shows the reduced amount ($179.00) instead of the original price ($229.00)
  • The merchant wants to display: original subtotal → discount → final total
  • This affects both custom discounts and automatic promotions

Proposed Solution:

  • A user (Mishkananda) provided Liquid code modifications in both Spanish and English
  • The solution includes custom invoice templates with modified payment details sections
  • However, the posted code appears partially corrupted or reversed in the formatting, making it difficult to verify the exact implementation

Status: A potential solution has been shared, though the code formatting issues may require clarification for proper implementation.

The default template of Order Printer is not showing the true subtotal of the items in this order. This order is a retail cost of $229.00 BEFORE the discount is applied. I want the Subtotal Price to be be $229.00 and THEN show the discount. Please help me edit the liquid so I can get the TRUE subtotal before discounts.

This example picture is of a custom discount, but the same thing happens when a customer uses a coupon or an automatic discount is applied. The Subtotal does not show the TRUE retail total of the items. The Liquid code below is the default.

Here is a copy of the default liquid starting at “Payment Details”.
