Showing discount on Product Page (without Compare price)

Store Design

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.

Exactly this.

Shopify doesn’t make discount data available on the product page — which is wild, because that’s the moment of truth.

And yeah, you could do some JS wizardry or manually recalculate prices with product.price | times: 0.6, but now you’re duct-taping logic into your theme and hoping nothing breaks during a sale.

That’s actually why I built Adsgun — so merchants don’t have to do all that. It auto-applies discounts and shows correct prices on every page — product, collection, cart, wherever.

Works with discounts, stackable promos, even gifts. Might be worth a look.
