In competitive online retail, showcasing deals effectively can make all the difference. The “Compare At” feature is an excellent tool for displaying discounts, allowing you to show both the original and discounted prices side-by-side.
How To Utilize The “Compared At” Feature #
Implementing the “Compared At” option is straightforward. Follow these steps to start showcasing your discounts effectively:
- Go to the Payments Section in the left navigation panel of your CRM. Hover on the Products dropdown and click on Products.
- Click “+ Create Product” to start from zero, or edit one of your existing products if needed.
- On the Create Product page, click on Pricing. Enter the original price under Compare-At Price. Ensure this is higher than your sale price to display a clear discount.
For Products With Variants #
If your product has variants, the information you’ve entered will be automatically applied. However, after adding your variants, you can manage the Compare-At Price individually for each one.
Be sure to click Save once you’ve set your prices. This simple adjustment adds value to your listings by clearly highlighting savings, helping you showcase competitive pricing and encourage customer purchases.
Practical Examples and Use Cases #
- Seasonal Promotions: Show the original price beside the sale price during special seasons to draw attention to seasonal discounts.
- Inventory Clear-Outs: Move older stock more efficiently by emphasizing price reductions, helping you clear space and boost sales of older products.
Using the “Compare At” feature is a great way to showcase value and make discounts more visible. It is easy to set up and automatically updates for each product you add, saving you time while improving transparency.
