Merchant problem report
Unified Sale Badge & Strikethrough Price Manager
Report created Jul 30, 2026
The problem to investigate
An app that ensures sale badges, compare-at pricing, and percentage-off messaging display consistently across collection pages, product pages, and theme variants. It would automatically adapt to theme behavior and merchant price rules so discounted items always look discounted to shoppers.
Merchants lose sale visibility when themes or market-specific pricing changes break compare-at price display, reducing conversion and creating confusion.

What merchants said
Each excerpt is matched to its original merchant and source text. Check the original discussion before drawing conclusions.
“The reason it is not showing, is because I have customised the markets prices for the UK, as we had to increase the price. Upon doing so, the Savings % is no longer showing, naturally decreasing conversions.”
“Something has changed since then. I have many items set up with compare-at pricing. But now the sale flag is gone, and the compare-at price is no longer visible.”
Hypotheses to validate
The following is AppScout’s interpretation, not merchant testimony or a validated business forecast.
Possible solution
Provide a theme-aware app that injects consistent sale badges, strikethrough prices, and savings percentage labels on collection and product pages, with rules for multi-market pricing and automatic fallback styling when the theme stops rendering compare-at fields.
Who to interview
Shopify merchants using themes that inconsistently render compare-at pricing, especially stores with sales-heavy catalogs and international pricing setups.
Competitive assumptions to check
Some theme customization apps and product label apps exist, but many are theme-specific or focus on badges only; competitors may include Vitals, Boost Product Filter, and generic product label apps.
