Bold Discounts provides you with the flexibility of placing an entire collection of products on sale at once. This is useful if you want to create temporary "flash sales" to drive purchases of specific items.
Using Shopify's collections feature to create our list of products, we can then create a discount offer with this collection in Discounts.
To create a flash sale using Discounts, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a Collection
- From Shopify's admin, select Products.
- Select Collections.
- Select Create collection.
- Enter a Title.
- Enter a Description (optional).
- Under "Collection type", choose the products you want to place on sale.
Note: You can select these products manually, or create a collection using the automated conditions. Visit Collections - Shopify for more information on how to create collections in Shopify.
- Under "Collection image", select Add image (optional).
- Select Save.
Step 2: Create a Discount Group
Follow the steps under the Create a Standard Sale dropdown and once you get to Step 4, select the collection you created earlier on your store.

Bold Discounts is able to apply sales on the storefront at a rate of roughly 250 products per second. This means that a sale with roughly 3000 products in it should take about 12 seconds to go live on the storefront.
Bold Discounts uses a connection with Shopify's order API to ensure that your customers are charged the correct price on the site.
Alert
If the Admin Price Sync setting is enabled, the backend prices on your store will take approximately 15 minutes per 250 variants to reflect the discounted price, however, the discounts will still be present on the storefront.
Products that are apart of multiple sales at the same time will have the best discount applied to them.
Bold Discounts reads which rules are being applied to a specific product and chooses the largest discount to apply for the customer.
Example
- Product A is $20
- Product A is in both Discount A and Discount B
- Discount A offers a 50% discount
- Discount B is a $5-off sale
- Product A would have Discount A's rules applied, as your customers would receive this item for $10 instead of $15
Bold Discounts applies its sales to your products on a cosmetic level and as a result, does not physically adjust your item prices within your Shopify admin.
