Shopify Product Badge & Discount Display Manager
The Opportunity
An app that lets merchants control sale badges, discount labels, and savings messaging consistently across product cards, carousels, collection grids, and product pages. It would centralize badge styling and content so merchants can match branding without theme edits.
"Merchants want to change how sale percentages appear across multiple storefront surfaces, including color, placement, and whether the badge shows percentage off or money saved. Theme code changes are brittle and often only fix one template, not all product display locations."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide a no-code badge editor that applies global rules to product cards, featured collections, carousels, and collection pages. Merchants can choose badge color, text format, and whether to show percentage, amount saved, or both, with theme-aware CSS/app blocks and automatic fallback handling for different image ratios.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using theme sections, product cards, collection pages, and carousels who want more control over sale presentation
Competitive Landscape
Automatic Discount & Gift, Fera-style badge apps, sale label customization apps, theme-specific badge snippets and CRO template libraries
Implementation Notes
Build an app block and theme app extension for badge rendering, plus a settings engine that maps badge rules to product cards, collection templates, sliders, and quick views. Include live preview, per-template overrides, CSS variable injection, and compatibility handling for Dawn-like themes and popular third-party themes; support price comparison logic and money-saved calculations from compare-at price.
