Shopify Price Schedule, Fall 2026

* Titanium: live at $54.99, not changed on Sep 17. The move to $59.99 is proposed and waits for Mike: when (Oct 12 or Nov 1) and whether the Q4 list is $59.99 or $64.99.

Every color of a product carries the same price and moves on the same day (Aluminum Pink and Seafoam, Slim Royal Blue and Slim Pink included).

Strike-throughs on the core pens: the $69.99 and $79.99 compare-at prices came off all 21 core pen variants on Sep 17 (no channel had charged them in the last twelve months). The compare-at field now stays blank. The Black Friday discount (Nov 23 to Dec 1) off the Nov 1 price is what produces a strike, and only if the same offer runs on every channel.

Rainbow bundles (Mike, Sep 17): the selling price does not move and the Whatnot price metafield stays $133.95; the 50% promotions (RAINBOW code, Whatnot flash sale) keep working off $133.95. What moves is the retail value, which is the sum of the parts at the pen price of the day: $153.95 since Sep 17 (done: both descriptions now list the pens at $34.99 and the value at $153.95; the compare-at field is still blank, Mike's call), $173.95 from Oct 12. On Oct 12, on both bundles, update the four pen prices and the "Retail value" line in the description, put the retail value in the compare-at field (a true strike, it is the sum of prices the store charges that day) if Mike agrees, and edit the Whatnot listing text by hand.

Duos and sets (Sep 17 bundle review, done the same evening): until Sep 17 evening every duo and set strike-through was two old single prices added together, and the price was 20% off that old sum, so the strikes had been wrong since the singles moved on Sep 17 (a Sleek Duo showed $79.76 crossed out next to two pens that sell for $69.98 today). The rule, now live on every duo and set: strike = the live sum of the parts, price = 20% off that sum. Still proposed: bundles out of the pen ladder and out of every code except RAINBOW, so nothing stacks. Timing (Mike, Sep 17, late evening): strike and 20% price together, done Sep 17 on his go; on Oct 12 the aluminum duos and sets step up with the aluminum move (Sleek Duo $55.98 to $63.98, Aluminum Set $40.78 to $44.78); Nov 1 only if the Q4 lift goes (starred cells). Under the rule two prices went up (Steel-Tastic Duo $63.81 to $71.98, Stainless Steel Set $44.70 to $48.78), the aluminum ones came down until Oct 12 (Sleek Duo $63.81 to $55.98, Aluminum Set $44.70 to $40.78), the Titanium Duo came down $1.43, and the Carbon-Prime Duo and Carbon Fiber Set moved by cents. Still proposed: publish the Carbon Fiber Set (priced, still a draft), unpublish the Pink and Seafoam duo and sets (discontinued colors), fix the Blue and Red Sleek Duo stock.

Whatnot bundles (proposal): the anchor is the Shopify price on the Whatnot-synced product and should equal the live sum of the parts; today ten of the twelve non-rainbow anchors are still old sums (the Premium Duo and the Titanium Duo already match). The deal is the percentage Mike sets by hand in Seller Hub; the proposal takes the largest 5% step that keeps the deal price at or above the Sep 17 floor. Nobody but Mike edits these products in Shopify: a product edit re-pushes the Whatnot sync and can reset the Seller Hub sale. The two rainbow bundles follow Mike's Sep 17 decision and are not part of the proposal.

Limited editions stay at $98 and are not on this sheet.

Order on a change day: Shopify first, then eBay and Walmart, Amazon last the same day, for a raise; for a cut, Amazon first. Tapcart, the Shop app, Facebook and TikTok Shop take their prices from Shopify, so nothing extra is needed there. Keep ad budgets flat for two weeks around each step.

Nov 1 Black Friday prices (Nov 23 to Dec 1, as a discount, not a list change): Titanium, Slim Titanium, Carbon Fiber and Slim Carbon Fiber $54.99; Stainless $44.99; Slim Stainless $39.99; Aluminum and Slim Aluminum $34.99. BOGO50 as an event code that week if Mike confirms.
