I decided to run a sale. Why aren't my sale prices immediately showing on each listing?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A merchant expected sale prices to update automatically across listings but discovered Shopify requires manual price adjustments for each product by default.

The Problem:

  • Running a sale doesn’t automatically display discounted prices on product pages
  • Manually calculating and updating prices for numerous items is impractical

Recommended Solutions:

  • Use bulk editing apps like Bulk Product Edit or Shopify Discounts to apply percentage discounts across multiple products simultaneously
  • Bulk Price Edit – Springify (free app) was specifically suggested with a two-step process:
    1. Set “Compare at price” to the original price (displays strikethrough pricing)
    2. Decrease the actual price by the desired percentage (e.g., 20%)

These tools automate the discount calculation and price updates, eliminating manual work while properly displaying both original and sale prices to customers.

Hi @Joe_Papendick !
If you want to automatically apply a 20% discount to all your listings (instead of calculating each one by hand), you can use the Bulk Price Edit – Springify app.
It’s absolutely free and lets you update all prices in just a few clicks.

All you need to do (as shown in the attached screenshot) is:

  1. Set “Compare at price” to your current price (so shoppers can see the original vs. discounted price).
  2. Decrease the price by 20%.

That’s it! The app handles everything automatically and shows the discounted prices to your buyers—at no cost. Hope this helps!
