Preview every price before it goes live
Before a sale can start, Sale Scheduler shows a review of every variant: price before and after, compare-at where it changes, and a status. Only Ready rows are applied. No Shopify price changes until you start or schedule the sale.

What does the review show?
- Product and variant, with the price before and the price that will be applied.
- Compare-at before and after, when the sale changes it.
- A status for every row, with filters for All, Ready, Warnings and Skipped.
- A summary: products matched, variants matched, ready to update, and skipped or needing review.
- A usage note: only successful price updates count toward usage.
What do Ready, Warning and Skipped mean?
| Status | Meaning | Applied? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready | The new price (and compare-at) is valid | Yes |
| Warning | The compare-at wouldn't be higher than the new price, so no crossed-out price would show | No |
| Skipped | Missing compare-at, an invalid or negative result, or missing data | No |
What happens after the review?
You choose: start now, schedule the start and the end, or save the sale as a draft. Drafts can be edited and deleted, and deleting a draft changes nothing in Shopify. If the Ready rows don't fit your remaining monthly allowance, the app tells you before anything changes.
The guarantee shown in the app: "No Shopify prices change until you start or schedule this sale."
Frequently asked questions
Does previewing a sale use my monthly changes?
No. Previews, drafts, skipped rows and Warning rows never count toward usage.
Can I save a sale and start it later?
Yes. Save it as a draft from the review. Drafts can be edited or deleted, and deleting a draft changes nothing in Shopify.
Why does my review say "Preview capped"?
Broad selections load up to 500 products and 2,500 variants per review. Narrow the selection or split it into several sales so every variant is included.
