Before you schedule it
The discount is the easy half. These are the steps that decide whether prices come back.
- 01Export the current price and compare-at price, with variant IDs, and store the file outside Shopify.
- 02Write the end time next to the timezone it is in. Most missed restores are timezone mistakes.
- 03Run the change on a few products first and check the storefront, cart and any sales channel.
- 04Name one person who is accountable for prices being back to normal, and give them a deadline.
- 05Decide in advance what happens if the job stops halfway: finish it, or roll back what changed.
- 06After it ends, spot-check a sample from every collection, including products that were excluded.
