Discounts overview

Discounts lets you build a store discount without leaving Sami Product Labels. You set the value, the schedule, and which products it applies to; the app creates the matching discount in Shopify for you and keeps the two in sync.

Because the discount is created and edited here, the app also knows what each product’s discounted price is — so it can cross out the original price on your storefront and fill the number straight into a badge.

Every discount you create is listed with its type, value, and status.

Discount types

Clicking Create discount asks you to choose one of two types. The choice is made up front and cannot be switched afterwards — create a new discount instead.

Type	How the shopper gets it	Use it for
Automatic discount	Applied at checkout automatically once the cart matches your conditions. No code to share.	Site-wide or category sales that everyone should get.
Discount code	The shopper enters a code you choose at checkout.	Campaigns, newsletters, and influencer codes.

Pick the type before the editor opens.

What you can configure

Every discount has the same two tabs.

Discount configurations

Section	What it sets
General information	The discount name, its Active / Draft status, and — for automatic discounts — whether the discounted price is shown on the storefront.
Discount	The discount code (code discounts only), the discount value, and the purchase type.
Minimum purchase requirements	No minimum, a minimum purchase amount, or a minimum quantity of items.
Discount time	The start date and time, and an optional end date and time.
Combinations	Whether this discount can stack with product, order, and shipping discounts in the cart.
Tags	Internal labels used to find and filter discounts.

Product conditions

Mode	Which products get the discount
All products	Every product in the cart.
Specific products	Only the products — or individual variants — you pick.
Matching conditions	Every product that matches the collections, titles, or tags you set.

See Use matching conditions for the third mode in full.

Discount value

The Discount value row has a type and a number:

Discount type	What the shopper pays
Percentage (%)	The item price minus that percentage. Maximum 100%.
Fixed amount	The item price minus that amount, in your store currency.
New price	The item is sold at the price you type, whatever its own price is.

Show the new price on your storefront

Automatic discounts have a New price display option. Tick Show the discounted price on the storefront and matching products show their original price crossed out next to the discounted one, the way a compare-at price is shown. The eye icon next to the heading opens a preview of the product page and the checkout page.

The preview shows how the discount reads on the product page and at checkout.

Note

The option is not available for discount codes — a code does not exist until the shopper types it at checkout — and it is switched off while a minimum purchase requirement is set, because a minimum is only met by a whole cart.

Caution

The crossed-out price is drawn by the app on your storefront, so it needs the app embed turned on in your theme. See Enable the app in your theme. The discount itself is applied by Shopify at checkout either way.

Turn a discount into a badge

After you save a discount, the app offers to build a badge for it. Click Create badge on the Don’t let this discount go unnoticed card and the badge editor opens already scoped to this discount: the Products tab holds the condition Sami discount is equal to your discount, and the badge text starts as Save {sami_discount_value_percent}.

The suggestion appears once the discount is saved, and can be dismissed with the x.

Four dynamic variables read their value from the discount:

Variable	Shows
{sami_discount_value_percent}	The discount percentage applied to the product.
{sami_discount_value_amount}	The discount amount applied to the product.
{sami_discount_code}	The discount code (code discounts only).
{sami_new_price}	The product price after the discount is applied.

Note

These variables only resolve on a badge that uses the Sami discount condition. See Dynamic variables reference.

Statuses

The Status column reflects both the switch you set and the schedule:

Badge	Meaning
Active	Running now.
Draft	Switched off. It stays deactivated in Shopify until you set it back to Active.
Scheduled	Active, but the start date is still in the future.
Expired	Active, but the end date has passed.

Discounts also appear in Shopify

Each discount you create here is a real Shopify discount, so it is listed on your Shopify Discounts page as well, with Automatic Discount or Discount Code as its type.

Note

Edit these discounts from Sami Product Labels, not from the Shopify Discounts page — the app holds the product conditions and the price display settings that Shopify does not show. A discount set to Draft here is deactivated in Shopify and appears there as Expired.

The same discount, seen from the Shopify admin.

Manage your discounts

The Discounts page lists everything you have created and gives you:

• Status filter — show All, Active, or Draft discounts.
• Search — find a discount by name.
• Sort — by Date (newest or oldest first) or Discount name (A–Z, Z–A).
• Row actions — the pencil opens the discount, the bin deletes it.
• Bulk actions — tick one or more rows to Activate, Deactivate, or Delete them together.

For a discount code, the list also shows the code itself next to the type, with a copy button.

Plan availability

Feature	FREE	GOLD	DIAMOND
Discounts	2	Unlimited	Unlimited

Caution

On FREE, deleted discounts still count toward the limit of 2.

Next steps

• Create an automatic discount — a discount that applies itself at checkout.
