# Compare At Price

> Show original prices crossed out next to the current price in storekit to highlight discounts. Visual savings cues create urgency and improve conversion rates.

Compare at price displays an original price crossed out next to the current price, making discounts more visible to customers. This creates urgency and shows customers exactly how much they're saving.

## How It Works

When you set a compare at price on a product:

* The compare at price appears struck through
* The current price displays next to it
* Customers see both prices side by side

For example, a product with a £12.00 price and £15.00 compare at price displays as: ~~£15.00~~ £12.00

## Setting Compare At Price

1. Go to your [storekit dashboard](https://dashboard.storekit.com)
2. Navigate to **Menu**
3. Click into a **Category**
4. Click the product you want to edit
5. In the **Compare At Price** field, enter the original (higher) price
6. Click **Save**

<Tip>
  The compare at price should be higher than the current price. If they're the same or the compare at price is lower, the display won't make sense to customers.
</Tip>

## Use Cases

### Limited-Time Promotions

Run a weekend sale by temporarily lowering your product price and setting the original as the compare at price. After the promotion, remove the compare at price and restore the original price.

### Happy Hour Pricing

Highlight happy hour discounts by showing the regular price crossed out next to the reduced price.

### Seasonal Sales

During holiday promotions, use compare at price to show customers exactly how much they're saving on featured items.

### Launch Offers

When introducing new products, offer an introductory price with the future regular price shown as the compare at price.

## Removing Compare At Price

To remove the crossed-out price:

1. Open the product in your dashboard
2. Clear the **Compare At Price** field
3. Click **Save**

The product will display only its current price.

## Tips

* **Don't overuse** - If every item shows a discount, the effect diminishes
* **Be honest** - Only show genuine previous prices to maintain customer trust
* **Time-box promotions** - Set calendar reminders to remove compare at prices when promotions end
* **Consider perception** - Large discounts (30%+) are more attention-grabbing than small ones
