Hey oscprofessional,
This doesn’t work since i don’t have Compare Price on the products. I am only using the Automatic Discount rule.
Topic summary
A merchant wants to display an automatic 40% discount on product pages for a specific collection, but the discount only appears in the cart. Unlike manual compare-at-price discounts, automatic discounts don’t natively show on product pages due to Shopify’s technical limitations—discount information isn’t available until items are added to the cart.
Proposed workarounds include:
- Manually calculating discounted prices in theme code (e.g.,
{{ product.price | times: 0.6 | money }}), though this requires code edits for each sale and doesn’t scale well across variants or multiple collections - Creating duplicate theme templates for sale vs. non-sale items
- Using apps like Yagi Automatic Discount Helper, Klip Coupons, or Adsgun that calculate and display discounted prices via metafields or custom logic
Community frustration:
Many participants express frustration that Shopify lacks this basic e-commerce feature natively, requiring either manual compare-at-price updates across hundreds of products or custom development/apps to achieve what’s standard on other platforms. The thread remains open with no perfect native solution, though several app-based alternatives have been suggested.
