How to display the sale tag on product cards
The BuildMyPOD theme includes a Sale tag that can be displayed on product cards whenever a product has a Compare-at Price set in Shopify.
This article explains how to enable the Sale tag in the theme and configure your products so the tag appears correctly.
Step 1: Enable the Sale Tag in the Theme
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store and click Edit Theme on your active BuildMyPOD theme.
In the theme editor, click the Theme Settings (gear icon).
- Open the BMP: Product Labels section and enable the Show Sale Tag option.
- Save the theme.
Once enabled, the theme will display a Sale tag on eligible product cards.
You can also customize the sale label text, background color, and text color in the BMP product labels settings.
Step 2: Set the Compare-at Price
The Sale tag only appears when a product has both a Price and a Compare-at Price, with the Compare-at Price being higher than the current selling price.
You have two options for setting this up:
- Use Shopify's built-in Compare-at Price feature
- Use a bulk editing app such as Hextom if you need to update many products at once.
Set the Compare-at Price in Shopify for an Individual Product
Go to Products in your Shopify admin and open the product you want to edit.
Scroll down to the Variants section and check the top checkbox to select all variants at once.
- Click Bulk edit that appears after selecting.
- This opens a table view where you can set the Compare-at price for all variants at once.
Enable the Compare-at-price column
- Fill in the compare-at prices and save.
Set the Compare-at Price in Shopify in Bulk
Go to Products in your Shopify admin.
- Check the top checkbox to select all products on the page at once and click Bulk edit that appears after selecting.
- Enable the Compare-at-price column
- Fill in the compare-at prices and save.
Step 3: Verify the Sale Tag
After you've enabled the Sale tag in the theme and configured your Compare-at Prices, the Sale badge will automatically appear on eligible product cards and product media.
Important Note
The Sale tag is only displayed on product cards and the product media.
On the product page, customers will see the Compare-at Price (the crossed-out original price), but the Sale badge itself is only displayed on the product media.
If you'd like a Sale badge to appear next to the price, it will require a theme code customization. Shopify Sidekick can help generate the necessary code if you'd like to implement this customization.
