Hi

I want to give a 20% launch offer for my customers which i have added as a new discount on the total amount at the checkout.

Also want to use compare at price feature for all my products to show the 20% discount as a striked through price, for my customer to see and understand.

But at checkout it is applying launch offer discount to the new discounted price of the product not the original price..

Is it possible to apply discount at check out only to the original price but not the new discounted price.(but i want to show the striked though price on both cart and checkout)

Hope You understood.

Hello @CNDY_123 ,

We understand that you would like to apply a 20% launch offer to the original price and display the original price with a strikethrough in both the cart and at checkout. With Discounty, you can easily configure the discount based on the original price, allowing customers to clearly see the strikethrough price and understand the discount applied.

Hi @CNDY_123 ,

For the “Compare At” price, it is just a cosmetic price label to show strikethrough effect on the product (to give impression of discount to customer), the actual price shown checkout is the product’s original price, and if you have created automatic discount, it will apply to the product’s price (not compare at price).

It is possible to show the discounted price on the product page (from the automatic discount), which require some coding and storing the discount info in metafield, which can be complex.

I have just made an app specifically to show discounted product prices on the product page and collection , the app utilizes metafields and can display discounted price (from the automatic discount you have created on Shopify Admin) on the product page / collection / search result.

You can generate the discounted price text with one click in the app (it will follow the discount percentage / amount of the automatic discount).

On product page, you can use the app block to display the discounted price (you can drag and drop it in the theme editor), which does not impact the store speed, as it uses Liquid to output the discounted price. (There’s also instruction in the app for showing discounted price in collection / home page, I would be happy to assist on the setup)

The app name is Yagi Automatic Discount Helper (https://apps.shopify.com/yagi-automatic-discount-helper ), you can view the demo store in the app listing page to see how it works.

Hi there,

I thought I’d jump in to share some insights as well.

Applying a discount to the compare-at price isn’t a big deal. Shopify doesn’t allow this by default, but some apps can help.

For example, in our Alpha Sale app, you can create discount codes or automatic discounts with a setting like this:

That said, the setting won’t work exactly as you described. Technically, there’s no way to pass the compare-at price to the checkout. Shopify always displays the actual product price at checkout. This means that if you have a 20% off discount via a compare-at price, the checkout price will already reflect that 20% reduction. If you then apply a checkout discount code based on the compare-at price, there’s simply no discount to display — the discount equals zero.

However, this setup can be useful for enabling an “only the biggest discount applies” approach. For example:

  • Scenario A: A product has a 30% sale discount (Compare-at Price = $100, Price = $70). If a 20% coupon is applied to compare-at price at checkout, the price remains $70 (since the sale discount is the bigger discount)

  • Scenario B: A product has a 10% sale discount (Compare-at Price = $100, Price = $90). A when 20% coupon is then applied to the compare-at price, the final price is reduced to $80.

Unfortunately, the setup you described isn’t possible due to Shopify’s checkout limitations.

Hope this helps!
