You run a promotion. The discount is set up correctly in Shopify, and it applies — but only at checkout. On the product page, the shopper still sees the full price with no sign that a deal is waiting. Many of them never get far enough to find out, and the sale you discounted for never happens.
The Snapper Apps Storefront Discounts app closes that gap. It surfaces the discount right on the product page, so the saving is visible at the exact moment someone decides whether to buy. This guide walks through installing it, choosing how discounts appear, and going live.
Why hidden discounts cost sales
Standard Shopify themes calculate most discounts at checkout, not on the product page. That leaves a gap between the deal you're offering and the price the customer sees while browsing:
- Shoppers compare the full price against other stores and leave before checkout
- Sale campaigns underperform because the saving is invisible until the last step
- Carts are abandoned by customers who never realised a discount applied
- Support fields "is this on sale?" questions that the page should answer
The moment that matters: the decision to buy happens on the product page, not at checkout. If the saving isn't visible there, it isn't doing its job.
What Storefront Discounts shows
The app displays the active discount directly on your product and collection pages, in whichever forms suit your store:
- Discounted price — the original price struck through beside the new price
- Percentage off — a clear badge such as
25% off - "You save" label — the exact amount saved, e.g.
You save $40.00
The values are read from your existing Shopify discounts, so what a shopper sees on the page always matches what they'll be charged at checkout.
Step-by-step setup
The whole setup runs from the Shopify theme editor and takes only a few minutes:
Install the app
Install Storefront Discounts from the app page and approve the permissions to read your products and discounts.
Add the block to your theme
In the Shopify theme editor, open a product template and add the Storefront Discounts app block where you want savings to appear — typically just under the price. It's a native theme block, so there's no code to touch.
Choose how discounts display
In the block settings, pick the elements you want to show:
- Struck-through original price beside the discounted price.
- Percentage badge — e.g.
25% off. - "You save" label showing the dollar amount saved.
Preview and publish
Preview a product that's currently on sale to confirm the saving shows correctly, then Save the theme. Your discounts are now visible on every product page that uses the block.
Pro tip: match the badge colour to your brand accent and keep the "You save" label close to the Add to cart button — that's where the shopper's attention already is when they're deciding.
Customising the display
The block settings let you match your storefront without touching code:
- Style — colours, badge shape, and text so the discount fits your theme
- Placement — show savings on product pages, collection cards, or both
- Wording — customise labels such as "You save" or "On sale" to your brand voice
Because the app reads live discount data, nothing needs to be updated when a promotion starts or ends — the display follows your Shopify discounts automatically.
Verifying your setup
- Open a product on your live storefront that has an active discount
- Confirm the discounted price, percentage, and "You save" label appear as configured
- Add it to the cart and check the checkout total matches the saving shown on the page
If a product shows no discount, confirm it's included in an active Shopify discount and that the app block is present on that product template.
Summary
A discount only converts if the customer sees it. With Storefront Discounts, the saving is visible right where the buying decision happens — on the product page — with the price, percentage, and dollar amount that match checkout exactly. Campaigns work harder and fewer carts are abandoned over a saving the shopper never noticed.
