Change product prices directly

Learn how to change product prices directly with a safe Juniper & Trail example, shopper impact, options, and recovery checks. Direct price changes mutate variant prices and can set compare-at prices. Badgy snapshots the original values first; later merchant edits can create restore drift that requires review.

Before you begin

• Choose the shopper behavior: visible price, code, quantity tiers, or BOGO
• Confirm eligible products and markets
• Define the intended revert outcome

Keep the campaign in Draft while you verify the configuration. Use a private storefront window where the guide changes shopper-facing behavior.

Step-by-step setup

Open full size ↗

1. 1

   Select the discount route that matches the promotion.

2. 2

   Set the price base, percentage operation, amount, and rounding behavior.

3. 3

   Verify updated prices and compare-at prices for real Juniper & Trail variants.

1. Choose Change product prices.
2. In Change price, choose a base: current price, compare-at price, cost per item, fixed amount, formula, or no change as offered.
3. Configure percentage and amount adjustments, then rounding; repeat independently for Compare price.
4. Expand Cost price only when it must change; leave No change otherwise. Compare-at can also be cleared with Null/blank.
5. Inspect the paginated preview for new Price, Compare-at, and Cost values; an all-No change setup cannot continue.

Juniper & Trail example

Juniper & Trail tests the workflow for Change product prices directly on the Alder 18L Daypack and Roam 750 Steel Bottle. The team checks the product, cart, and restore consequences before launch. The documentation fixture uses realistic products, inventory states, variants, collections, and protected exclusions so the preview exercises the same decisions as a merchant catalog.

1. 1

3. 3

   Scroll through additional products to verify the collection layout stays usable.

The cart outcome depends on the route: direct price changes catalog prices, while code and function-backed offers are calculated by Shopify when eligibility is met. Check the relevant result from product through cart where applicable. For shopper-facing work, compare desktop and mobile and verify both an eligible and an ineligible item.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

• Acting on the wrong shop. Confirm the Shopify store and campaign before following Change product prices directly.
• Trusting a stale preview. Refresh after catalog, schedule, discount, theme, locale, or market changes.
• Repeating a background command. Read status and History first; retry only when Badgy presents a recoverable failure.
• Skipping the consequence check. Confirm what changes for shoppers and what the end or restore path will do.

If the status reports revoked authorization, reconnect Shopify before retrying. If the result still differs from the preview, preserve the campaign ID and approximate time, then open support from this identified shop. Never send customer data, access tokens, or full catalog exports in feedback.
