How to setup Strikethrough pricing?

To display a discounted price as a strike-through on the product's original price, you can set up a custom discount and a corresponding pricing widget.


1. Create the Discount Rule


  1. Navigate to the Custom Discount Builder and create a new rule.
  2. Give the rule a name for your reference (e.g., "strikethrough example").
  3. Set an eligibility rule. For example, the discount applies if there is at least one item in the cart.
  4. Select the specific product or collection the discount will apply to (e.g., the "hydrogen" collection).
  5. Set the discount value (e.g., 10%) and limit the number of products it can apply to (e.g., a maximum of two products).
  6. Save the discount offer.


2. Enable the Strike-Through Pricing Widget


  1. First, ensure your theme app embed is enabled. If it is not, click Enable and save the settings for your theme.
  2. Refresh the page to confirm the theme app embed is active.
  3. Enable the toggle for displaying strikethrough pricing and save this setting.
  4. Click Add to go to your theme editor to place the widget.


3. Position the Widget on Your Product Page


You can add the pricing block to all products or only to specific discounted products.

Method A: Add to the Default Product Page

  1. In the theme editor, find the Kite discounted pricing block under the "Product information" section.
  2. Drag and drop the block to your desired position, such as just below the original price element.
  3. Click Save.

Note: This method will display the original price on all products, even those not eligible for the discount.


Method B: Add to a Custom Template for Specific Products (Recommended)

  1. Create a new product template for the specific products or collections that have the discount (e.g., "hydrogen strikethrough").
  2. Assign this new template to all relevant products.
  3. In the theme editor, navigate to your new custom product template.
  4. Add the Kite discounted pricing block and place it below the original price.
  5. Hide the original price block by clicking the "eye" icon next to it.
  6. Click Save. This ensures that the regular price is shown before the discount is active, and only the strike-through price is shown after.


4. Verify on Your Storefront


  1. Clear your cart and navigate to a product that is part of your discount rule. You will see the normal price.
  2. To meet the eligibility condition, add any product from your store to the cart.
  3. Return to the discounted product's page. The strike-through pricing should now be visible.
  4. Add the discounted item to your cart to confirm the discount is applied at checkout.
