Example: Show Product Variant's Sale Price

In this document, you'll learn how to display a product variant's sale price, with a full React example.

Check if a Price is a Sale#

To check if a product variant's price is a sale price, check whether the variant's calculated_price.calculated_price.price_list_type field is equal to sale:

Code
const isSale = selectedVariantPrice.calculated_price.calculated_price.price_list_type === "sale"

Where selectedVariantPrice is either the variant the customer selected or the cheapest variant.

Display Original and Discount Amounts#

If the price is a sale price, the original price is in the variant's calculated_price.original_amount field:

Code
1const salePrice = formatPrice(selectedVariantPrice.calculated_price.calculated_amount)2const originalPrice = formatPrice(selectedVariantPrice.calculated_price.original_amount)3const discountedAmount = formatPrice(4  selectedVariantPrice.calculated_price.original_amount - 5  selectedVariantPrice.calculated_price.calculated_amount6)

You can use the original price either to display it or calculate and display the discounted amount.

Full React Example#

For example, in a React-based storefront:

Code

In this example, you:

• Define an isSale memo variable that determines whether the chosen variant's price is a sale price. You do that by checking if the value of the variant's calculated_price.calculated_price.price_list_type field is sale.
• Define an originalPrice memo variable that, if isSale is enabled, has the formatted original price of the chosen variant. The variant's original price is in the calculated_price.original_amount field.
• If isSale is enabled, show a message to the customer indicating that this product is on sale along with the original price.
