Native Discount Tracking (Beta)

Capture prices from Shopify automatic discounts — which normally stay invisible to price tracking — so your 30-day lowest price stays accurate.

Native Discount Tracking is a beta feature. It's off by default. Enable it under Omnibus Lowest Price → Settings only if you run automatic discounts and want them reflected in your price history.

The problem it solves

Under the Omnibus Directive, the "lowest price in the last 30 days" must reflect prices that were genuinely available to all customers — including prices set by automatic discounts, not just prices you type into a variant.

But there's a catch: when you run an automatic discount (rather than editing the variant price directly), Shopify does not notify apps of a price change. Left alone, that discounted price would be invisible to price tracking. Native Discount Tracking captures it.

What gets tracked

To stay compliant and accurate, only discounts that count as a price "available to all customers without restriction" are recorded. In this version that means automatic basic discounts that:

• apply to all customers (no customer segments or specific-customer targeting),

• have no minimum requirement (no minimum spend or quantity),

• apply per item (not an order-level fixed amount),

• have a value and product/collection targets.

Not tracked: discount codes, tiered/conditional discounts, and any customer-specific offers — because those aren't prices available to everyone.

How it works

When enabled, Omnibus Owl:

• records the effective discounted price for each affected variant (per market) when an eligible discount becomes active — including for discounts that target all products, specific collections, or specific products;

• writes a revert entry restoring the normal price when the discount ends or is deleted;

• handles scheduled discounts — it waits until the discount actually starts, then records it, and reverts it when it ends;

• runs a regular reconciliation in the background to catch scheduled starts/ends and backfill anything missed, since Shopify doesn't send webhooks for those.

When you turn the feature off, the app reverts any currently-tracked discounts and cleans up, so your history returns to normal prices.

Enabling this feature triggers an initial backfill of your currently-active eligible discounts, and requests the extra Shopify permission needed to read discounts. Give it a few minutes to catch up after switching it on.
