Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBlack Friday and flash sales shouldn't mean editing prices or building sale pages by hand. Disco applies bulk discounts to products, collections, or your entire store. Set sale and compare-at prices, schedule campaigns, and restore prices automatically. Mix percentage, fixed-amount, and fixed-price discounts in one sale.
Auto Schedule has run merchants' timed changes since 2019 — prices, BFCM discounts, publishing, tags, banners, theme blocks and countdown timers. Run product drops: items stay visible but locked behind a Coming soon button then unlock at the exact drop moment — purchases are blocked at checkout until then. Set price floors with email alerts, schedule live or snapshot collections, and revert any run in one click.
- Schedule discounts and flash sales in advance.
- Bulk-add discounts to select products, collections or your entire store.
