Discount display · last updated 6 September 2026

Summary

Discount display reads the automatic discounts you have already created in your Shopify admin and shows the resulting sale price on your storefront. It does not collect, receive, or store any personal data about your customers.

What the app accesses

The app requests two read-only permissions, and no others:

• read_discounts — to read the automatic discounts you have configured, so it can work out the discounted price to display.
• read_products — required because a discount can target specific products; without it, reading those discounts fails entirely.

The app cannot modify products, discounts, customers, orders, or payments. Its only store write is the app-owned discount-summary metafield described below.

What the app stores

• Your shop domain and an access token, kept on the app server so it can talk to Shopify on your behalf. This is data about your shop, not about any person.
• A summary of your active discounts, written into a metafield on your own Shopify store. That data lives on Shopify’s infrastructure so your theme can read it; it contains discount titles, amounts and dates only.
• Your optional product-research response, if you reach a working storefront display. This includes activation timestamps, whether you answer yes, maybe, or no to the $9/month question, and an optional reason limited to 500 characters.

Customer data

None is collected. The script the app adds to your storefront reads product prices from your own store and displays a calculated price in the shopper’s browser. It does not identify shoppers, set cookies, or send any information to the app server or to anyone else. There is no shopper analytics or shopper tracking, and no third-party processors.

Because no customer data is held, a data access or deletion request forwarded by Shopify returns nothing — there is nothing to return or erase.

Uninstalling

When you uninstall, Shopify notifies the app and your session and access token are deleted and an uninstall timestamp is added to an existing research response. Shopify sends a shop redaction request 48 hours later, at which point the response and every remaining record of your shop are removed. The metafield lives in your own store and is yours to delete.
