See every featureAutomatic Discount Engine helps merchants create and promote discounts without writing code. It builds automatic order discounts with scheduling and customer eligibility, and also detects existing Shopify automatic discounts to turn into badges and banners. Badge and price styling can be set separately for product cards and product pages, covering colors, fonts, icons, and corner radius.
Shopify only applies automatic discounts at checkout, so shoppers browsing the store usually see the full price. This app closes that gap by reading a store's active automatic discounts and showing the resulting price on product pages and on collection, search, and home page cards. Prices are calculated from each variant's live price, so they stay accurate without manual work.
- Displays live discount badges on product cards automatically
- Customizes badge style, colors, font size, radius, icon for each discount
- Works only with the Shopify themes — Dawn and Horizon
- Calculates discount product and shows actual data
- Auto-updates prices when discounts change — no manual regeneration
- Shows real discounted prices on product and collection pages
- Works with store-wide and product-specific automatic discounts
