Getting Started

✨ Getting Started Tip Watch the in-app tutorial video to see how everything works. It only takes 3 minutes!

Updating Prices

The app offers multiple ways to update your product prices:

Update Types

1. Percentage Change

Increase or decrease prices by a percentage:

Increase: Enter a positive number (e.g., 10 for +10%)
Decrease: Enter a negative number (e.g., -25 for -25% off)

Example: A $100 product with +10% becomes $110. With -25% it becomes $75.

2. Fixed Amount

Add or subtract a specific dollar amount:

Add: Enter a positive number (e.g., 5 adds $5)
Subtract: Enter a negative number (e.g., -10 subtracts $10)

3. Set New Price

Replace the current price with a specific amount:

Enter the exact price you want (e.g., 29.99)
All selected products will be set to this price

4. Cost-Based Pricing

Calculate prices based on product cost (cost per item must be set in Shopify):

Markup: Set price to cost + percentage (e.g., cost + 50%)
Margin: Set price to maintain a profit margin (e.g., 40% margin)

💡 Formula Examples:

Markup: If cost is $10 and markup is 50%, price = $15
Margin: If cost is $10 and margin is 40%, price = $16.67

5. Compare at Price

Update the "compare at price" (the crossed-out "was" price):

Show customers how much they're saving
Use the same update types as regular prices
Can be updated independently or together with regular prices

Rounding Options

Choose how to round your prices after calculations:

Rounding Type	Example (Input: $23.47)	Best For
No Rounding	$23.47	Precise calculations
To .99	$22.99	Psychological pricing
To .95	$22.95	Sales pricing
To .49	$22.49	Discount appearance
To Nearest Dollar	$23.00	Clean pricing
Up to .99	$23.99	Maximize revenue
Down to .99	$22.99	Competitive pricing

Selecting Products

Choose which products to update using smart filters or manual selection:

Smart Filters

Automatically select products based on criteria:

By Vendor

Select one or multiple vendors
Update all products from specific suppliers
Great for supplier-specific price changes

By Product Type

Filter by product categories
Example: "T-Shirts", "Shoes", "Electronics"
Update entire product categories at once

By Collection

Select products in one or more collections
Perfect for seasonal sales or themed promotions
Works with automated and manual collections

By Tags

Filter products by tags
Use multiple tags with AND/OR logic
Example: "sale" AND "winter" tags

By Price Range

Select products within a price range
Example: Products between $10 and $50
Useful for tiered pricing strategies

Combining Filters

Use multiple filters together for precise targeting:

Example: Vendor "Nike" + Type "Shoes" + Tag "clearance"
Filters work with AND logic (all must match)

💡 Power Tip: Tag your products strategically in Shopify before using the app. This makes filtering much easier!

Manual Selection

For more control, manually choose specific products:

View All Products

Browse your complete product catalog in the app

Search & Filter

Use the search bar to find specific products

Check Boxes

Select individual products or use "Select All"

Apply Update

Choose your price update settings and apply

Variant-Level Selection

Update specific variants instead of entire products:

Expand product rows to see variants
Select only the sizes/colors you want to update
Example: Only update "Large" and "XL" sizes

Scheduling Updates

Schedule price changes to start and end automatically - perfect for sales!

Creating a Scheduled Update

Enable Scheduling

Toggle on "Schedule this update"

Managing Scheduled Updates

Monitor: See status of pending, active, and completed schedules

✨ Best Practice: Schedule your updates at least 1 hour in advance to ensure they process on time.

Reverting Changes

Made a mistake? No problem! Instantly restore original prices.

How Revert Works

Every price update is saved in history with original prices. You can undo any change at any time.

Reverting an Update

Go to History Tab

View all your past price updates

Find the Update

Locate the update you want to undo

Click "Revert"

Confirm you want to restore original prices

Wait for Completion

Prices are restored to their original values

What Gets Reverted?

✅ Regular prices
✅ Compare at prices
✅ All variants
✅ Market-specific prices (if updated)

⚠️ Important: If you manually edited a product's price after an update, reverting will restore the price from before the update, not your manual change.

Partial Revert

Only revert specific products from an update:

Click "View Details" on the update
Select individual products to revert
Click "Revert Selected"

💡 Pro Tip: You can revert the same update multiple times if needed. Original prices are always saved.

Update History

View detailed records of all price changes made through the app.

History Dashboard

The History tab shows:

Update Name: Custom name or auto-generated description
Date & Time: When the update was executed
Products Affected: Number of products updated
Update Type: Percentage, fixed, cost-based, etc.

Actions: Revert, download report, view details

Viewing Update Details

📊 History Retention: Update history is maintained for easy reference and rollback capabilities.

International Markets

If you sell internationally using Shopify Markets, you can update market-specific prices.

How Markets Work

Shopify Markets lets you set different prices for different countries or regions:

US customers see USD prices
EU customers see EUR prices
UK customers see GBP prices
Australia, Canada, Japan, and more...

💡 Understanding Market Prices Market prices allow you to set different pricing strategies for different regions. For example, you might price products lower in developing markets or adjust for local purchasing power and competition.

Updating Market Prices

Select Market

Choose which market's prices to update from the dropdown menu. You can select a specific market (e.g., "United Kingdom") or choose "All Markets" to update globally.

Configure Price Change

Set up your update as normal - percentage, fixed amount, or cost-based pricing. The update will only affect the selected market.

Preview Changes

Review which products will be updated and see the price changes before applying. The preview shows both the original and new prices for the selected market.

Apply Update

Only the selected market's prices will change. Other markets remain unchanged unless you run separate updates for them.

Market Update Examples

Example 1: Regional Sale - EU Only

Select "European Union" market
Apply -20% discount
US and other markets unchanged
Perfect for regional promotions or holidays

Example 2: Currency Adjustment

Exchange rates changed significantly (e.g., GBP weakened)
Select "United Kingdom" market
Apply +5% to maintain profit margins
Keeps your pricing competitive while protecting margins

Example 3: Global Price Increase

Select "All Markets"
Apply +10% across all countries
Useful for cost increases that affect all regions

Example 4: Competitive Pricing Adjustment

Competitor lowered prices in Canada
Select "Canada" market
Apply -15% to stay competitive
Maintain market share without affecting global pricing

🌍 Markets Feature Availability Shopify Markets is available on Shopify Plus or with the Markets Pro add-on. If you don't see market options, you may need to enable Markets in your Shopify settings or upgrade your plan.

Advanced Market Pricing Strategies

Price Parity Management

Maintain fair pricing across markets while accounting for:

VAT/Tax differences: EU prices typically need to be 20-25% higher to account for VAT
Shipping costs: Remote markets may need price adjustments
Import duties: Some countries have high import taxes
Local competition: Price according to local market conditions

Currency Fluctuation Strategy

Set up quarterly reviews of exchange rates:

Monitor USD vs your base currency
Adjust market prices when exchange rates move more than 5%
Use percentage adjustments to maintain relative pricing
Schedule updates during low-traffic hours

Market-Specific Product Selection

Combine market selection with product filters:

Select "United Kingdom" + Tag "premium"
Apply different pricing strategies to different product tiers per market
Example: Discount entry-level products more in price-sensitive markets

Market-Specific Revert

When reverting market price updates:

Only the selected market's prices are restored
Other markets remain unchanged
Each market update is tracked separately in history
You can revert Market A without affecting Market B

Viewing Market Price History

In the History tab, market updates show:

Which market was updated (e.g., "EU Market")
Number of products affected per market
Before/after prices in the market's currency
Separate revert buttons for each market update

✨ Pro Tip: Test Market Updates Always test market updates on 1-2 products first. Market pricing can be complex, and you want to ensure the correct market and currency are being updated before running large updates.

Interpreting CSV Reports

Understanding Price Changes

The Price Change column shows both dollar amount and percentage:

-6.00 (-20%) = Price decreased by $6 (20% discount)
+5.00 (+16.7%) = Price increased by $5 (16.7% markup)
0.00 (0%) = No change (product may have been in selection but already at target price)

Reading Profit Margins

If you have cost-per-item set in Shopify, the report calculates your margin:

47.9% = Healthy margin (selling at $23.99 with $12.50 cost)
20% = Low margin (may indicate aggressive pricing)
Negative % = Selling below cost (loss leader or error)
Blank = Cost per item not set in Shopify

💡 Margin Formula Margin = ((Price - Cost) / Price) × 100
Example: (($23.99 - $12.50) / $23.99) × 100 = 47.9%

Analyzing Scheduled Updates

For scheduled updates, the CSV includes additional information:

Schedule Start: When the price change took effect
Schedule End: When prices will revert (if set)
Auto-Revert: Yes/No indicator
Days Active: Duration of the scheduled price

Status Column Values

Status	Meaning	Action Needed
Success	Price updated successfully	None
Product Deleted	Product was deleted during update	None - expected if you deleted it
Variant Not Found	Variant was removed/changed	Check if product structure changed
API Error	Shopify API issue	Contact support if persists
Draft Product	Product not published	Publish product or skip
Price Below Zero	Calculation resulted in negative price	Adjust discount percentage

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

How long do updates take?

Small updates (under 100 products) finish in 1-2 minutes. Large updates (1000+ products) can take 10-20 minutes due to Shopify rate limits. You'll receive a notification when complete.

Can I undo an update?

Yes! Click "Revert" in the History tab to instantly restore original prices. You can revert all products or just specific ones.

Does this work with variants?

Yes! You can update all variants or select specific sizes, colors, styles, etc. The app gives you full control over variant-level pricing.

What happens if I close the app during an update?

Updates continue in the background. You can safely close the app or your browser. Check the History tab to monitor progress.

Can multiple staff members use the app?

Yes! Any staff member with product management permissions can use the app. All changes are tracked by user in History.

Technical Questions

Does this work with Shopify POS?

Yes! Price changes sync automatically to Shopify POS. Your in-store prices will match online.

Are prices updated in real-time?

Updates take 1-20 minutes depending on the number of products. Shopify rate limits prevent instant updates for large batches, but the app processes as fast as possible.

Can I update products on other sales channels?

Yes! Price changes apply to all sales channels connected to your Shopify store (Amazon, eBay, Facebook, etc.).

Does the app work with currency converters?

Yes! If you use a currency converter app, prices are stored in your store's base currency and converted automatically.

What if I have a custom theme?

The app updates product data in Shopify, not your theme. It works with all themes, including custom and purchased themes.

Pricing Questions

Can I test the app first?

Yes! You can test the app with a small batch of products to ensure it works for your needs before committing to larger updates.

How are updates processed?

Updates are processed through Shopify's API to ensure data integrity and consistency across your store.

Troubleshooting

Why did some products not update?

Common reasons:

Product was deleted from your store during the update
Product is draft status (not published)
Variant doesn't exist anymore
Shopify API error (rare)

Check the update details in History for specific error messages.

My scheduled update didn't run. Why?

Possible reasons:

You uninstalled then reinstalled the app
Your Shopify store was offline during the scheduled time
The schedule was canceled or deleted

Contact support if scheduled updates consistently fail.

Prices look wrong after rounding. What happened?

Double-check your rounding settings. Example: "Up to .99" will always round up, which may give unexpected results on small discounts. Try "Down to .99" or "To .99" instead.
