How to display crossed-out prices and the Promo! banner in PrestaShop
There are many different ways in PrestaShop to apply discounts, reductions, promotions, private pricing, quantity discounts... But not all of them create crossed-out prices, with the discount next to them. Here's a quick overview to help you choose the right method.
We'll also show you how to display the "Promo!" banner or "On Sale" logo.
How to display crossed-out prices
If you are unfamiliar with the terms used in this table, please refer to our complete guide to PrestaShop pricing.
| Price type, discount... | Create a crossed-out price in the product file |
| Base price | No |
| Base price + declination price impact | No |
| Basket price rule (coupon or discount code) | No |
| Specific price modifying base price only | No |
| Specific price applying a % reduction from quantity 1 | Yes |
| Specific price applying a reduction in value (€) from quantity 1 | Yes |
| Specific price defined for a quantity greater than 1 | No |
| Catalog price rule | Same conditions as for special prices |
| Discount rates by customer group | No |
| Discount rates by customer group and category | No |
| Transformed into a coupon | No |
In conclusion, only specific prices, defined for a "From" quantity of 1, and applying a non-zero discount, can be used to create crossed-out prices.
All other specific price criteria are irrelevant: country, currency, date, customer group, customer...

How to display the "Promo!"
You might think that this would be done automatically, that once the price has been crossed out, the logo would be added to the product label. However, this is not the case: you need to ask PrestaShop to do this, product by product, as follows:
- Go to the "Catalog" section.
- Display the list of products and open the one to be modified.
- Go to the "Prices" tab.
- Check the option "Display a "Promo!" banner on the product page..."
Fortunately, if you're the proud owner of a Merlin Backoffice license, it's easy to have these banners displayed on all your promotional products, in a single operation.
Display the "Promo!" banner on all products with a crossed-out price, in just a few clicks, thanks to the Merlin module
The first step is to display and select all products currently benefiting from a specific price. Then simply tick a box in the "On Sale" column. That's all there is to it:
- Select all categories.
- Go to the column configurator to include the two columns "On sale" and "Specific price id".
- Display products.
- Right-click in the "Specific price id" column to display the context menu.
- Click on the "Filter selection on this column" menu.
- Set the search condition to "Greater than 0" and confirm. All currently discounted prices are now selected in the table.
- A click in one of the unchecked boxes in the "On sale" column activates the "Promo!" banner on all selected products.
