Compare Price - User Guide

Introduction​

The Compare Price feature allows you to offer straightforward discounts on your products to specific customer groups. Instead of complex tier requirements, this feature lets you set a flat percentage off, a fixed amount off, or a strict new fixed price across the products you select.

This is ideal for setting up a standard "VIP 20% Off" tier, an "Employee Discount", or running a temporary site-wide sale without changing your base product prices in Shopify.

1. Accessing Compare Price​

  1. Go to your Shopify Admin panel.
  2. Navigate to Apps > Actix Wholesale > Wholesale.
  3. From the app dashboard, click Create Rule and select Compare Price.

Summary Card​

A sticky summary card is displayed on the side to give you a quick overview of the rule you are creating or editing.

  • Quick Overview: Shows the name, priority, status, targeting, and discount value at a glance.
  • Status Toggle: You can quickly toggle the status between Draft and Active directly from the summary card.
  • Preview Table: For rules involving volume discounts, an example preview table is shown to visualize the tiers.

Important: Remember to set the status to Active when you are ready to publish the rule. If left as Draft, the rule will not be applied to your store.
