Decrease price for selected collections by $10 and override cents
Set new price and compare at price for selected products
Restore original prices before discount for products on sale

Compare at price
Compare at price is a field in Shopify that is used to show the crossed-out amount next to the discounted price. It shows the original price of the product before the discount.
You can make the following actions with compare at price:
- Don't change compare at price - skip changes to the compare at price for this task
- Increase compare at price - increase the existing compare at price by percent or amount
- Decrease compare at price - decrease the existing compare at price by percent or amount
- Set new compare at price - override existing compare at price with new value
- Set to price - sets compare at price to old price (use it to set discounted price)
- Reset compare at price - removes compare at price value
Override cents
Both price and compare at price allow you to override cents when you're increasing or decreasing price. You can override cents with the new value (eg .99):
Or round to the nearest value:
Apply to

Once you create a task it will take some time for us to apply changes to products in Shopify. The speed of change depends on how many products you selected. You'll see the progress indicator next to the task in the list.
Task Details
Once the task is completed you can view full details on which changes have been made.
The app keeps a searchable log of every single price change that it makes.
