Running a sale usually means either editing prices one by one in the Shopify admin, or exporting to a spreadsheet, doing the maths, and re-importing — both slow, and both easy to get wrong when you're working fast against a deadline.
With Claude connected via ShopMCP, you describe the discount and the collection. It calculates every new price and shows you the result before anything goes live.
The exact prompt
Copy this into Claude
"Drop prices by 20% on every product in my 'Summer Sale' collection. Show me a preview first."
Claude finds every product in the collection, previews how many will be affected, and once you confirm, updates every variant's price — correctly rounded, no manual maths.
Other ways to phrase the discount
You're not limited to percentage-off. Claude understands the same request phrased a few different ways:
- "Set every product tagged 'clearance' to exactly $19.99"
- "Increase prices by $5 on all products from vendor 'Nordic Studio'"
- "Reduce prices by 15% on everything with product type 'Jackets'"
Price changes go live immediately once confirmed. Always check the preview count matches what you expect before saying "apply it" — especially with broad filters like vendor or product type, which can catch more products than you intended.
Ending the sale is the same pattern in reverse: "Set prices back to $49.99 on every product in my 'Summer Sale' collection."
