How Do I Apply a Discount Storewide for a Specific Length of Time - Dawn Theme

Topic summary

A user asks how to apply a 20% storewide discount for 15 days on their Shopify store using the Dawn theme, and how to ensure the discount automatically expires on day 16.

A suggested solution involves using a CSV file workflow:

  • Download the product CSV from Shopify
  • Enter discounted prices in the “Price” column and original prices in the “Compare at Price” column
  • Use the discount start date and end date columns to schedule the promotion (can be filled using drag-and-drop in Excel)
  • Upload the modified CSV back to Shopify

This method allows bulk price changes with automatic scheduling, though it relies on manual CSV management rather than Shopify’s built-in discount features.

Hello! I’m certain it’s probably simple but I can’t figure out how to apply a discount (20%) storewide for 15 days? Also, if it’s possible to define the number of days, how do I make certain the discount goes away on day 16?

Thanks!

Hello Lon,

it’s pretty simple via CSV file. Download your CSV file of all products, First write dsicounted prices in “Price” column and full prices in “Compare at Price” Then fid columns for discount started date & discount end date. just fill in the date in column and drag and drop using Excel.

Finally upload the sheet back to shopify.
