Show compare at prices in cart for dawn theme

Technical Q&A
, , ,

Topic summary

  • Goal: Show the product’s compare-at price in the cart drawer of Shopify’s Dawn theme. This presents the higher reference price alongside the current price to highlight savings.

  • Implementation: Edit snippets/cart-drawer.liquid and find the Liquid output {{ item.original_price | money }}. Replace it with markup that outputs {{ item.variant.compare_at_price | money }} (with the tag and class “price-item price-item–regular”) followed by {{ item.original_price | money }}, using the money filter.

  • Effect: The compare_at_price is displayed crossed out as the regular price, with the actual cart price displayed next to it. This clearly communicates discounted pricing within the cart drawer.

  • Status: The requester confirmed the solution works as intended. No remaining issues or unanswered questions; discussion resolved.

  • Notes: The code snippet and Liquid variables (compare_at_price, original_price) are central to the fix.
