Step-by-step: Putting products on offer in Shopify

1. Go to “Products” in your Shopify account

To put products on sale in Shopify, you first need to navigate to your Products page. Here are the steps to do that:

1. Log into your Shopify account.
2. Click on the “Products” option in the left-hand sidebar of the Shopify dashboard. That will open up a new tab displaying all of your products in one convenient place.

2. Select the product you want to mark as on offer

Once you’re on the Products page, it’s time to select all of the products that you want to put on sale. That will allow you to quickly and easily change prices, add new variants, and update product images. To select a specific product on the page, follow these steps:

1. Find the product in your search results.
2. Click on its name and then scroll down to the “Variants” section and find the variant that you want to put on sale. Then, click the “Edit” button.

Note: You’ll need an active variant, such as size, material, etc… for the correct “Edit” option to appear. It’s highlighted in the image below.

3. Adjust the prices of the chosen products

Next, you need to change the prices of your chosen products, so they’re marked as on offer. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Click on the “Pricing” tab in the lower-left corner of the screen (next to “Options”).
2. In the “Pricing” section, enter the new price for the variant in the “Compare at price” field. The “Compare at price” is the product’s original price before you put the item on sale. That’s what customers will see when they view your product page.

4. Save and review the changes you’ve made

Once you’ve adjusted the prices of your products, follow these steps:

1. Click on “Save” in the screen’s top-right (or lower-right) corner. This will finalize your changes and make them visible to customers browsing your store.
2. Repeat this process for all the other variants (types of products) that you want to put on sale.
