5 min setup

No coding required

Runs automatically

Stop showing misleading sale tags on your products. This workflow checks your product prices and removes the "On Sale" tag whenever your compare-at price matches or is lower than your regular price. No more accidentally displaying sale badges on full-price items or confusing customers with incorrect discount signals.

How it works

5 steps to remove "On Sale" tags from products that aren't actually discounted

Product Updated

App connector: [Shopify](/content/apps/shopify/integrate "View Shopify integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: This trigger monitors your store for any product changes and kicks off the workflow whenever a product is edited, ensuring your sale tags stay accurate in real-time.

Get List of Product Variants

App connector: [Shopify](/content/apps/shopify/integrate "View Shopify integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: This step retrieves all the pricing variations for the updated product, since products can have multiple variants with different prices and compare-at prices that need individual checking.

Loop Over Variants

App connector: [Loop](/content/apps/loop/integrate "View Loop integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: This step processes each product variant individually to check its specific pricing, since different variants may have different sale statuses that need separate evaluation.

Filter: Check prices

App connector: [Filter](/content/apps/filter/integrate "View Filter integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: This condition determines which variants should have their "On Sale" tag removed by checking if the compare-at price is empty or not actually higher than the regular price.

Product Remove Tag

App connector: [Shopify](/content/apps/shopify/integrate "View Shopify integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 1 minute

Why this matters: This action removes the "On Sale" tag from products that aren't actually discounted, keeping your store's sale indicators accurate for customers.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I use multiple sale-related tags in my store?

This workflow only removes one specific tag that you configure in the final step. If you use multiple tags like "On Sale," "Clearance," and "Discount," you'll need to create separate workflows for each tag or modify this workflow to handle multiple tag types.

Will this workflow affect products that are legitimately on sale?

No, the workflow only removes tags from products where the compare-at price is empty or not higher than the regular price. Products with valid discounts (where compare-at price is higher than the selling price) will keep their sale tags.

Can this workflow accidentally remove sale tags from products during flash sales or temporary promotions?

The workflow only triggers when you update a product, so temporary price changes won't affect it unless you manually edit those products. However, if you set a flash sale price as the regular price without updating the compare-at price, the workflow will remove the sale tag since there's no valid discount configured.
