GetSale's Settings page lets you pre-fill the values you use most often, so you spend less time re-entering the same options every time you create a new discount or widget. You can set a default CSS selector for where timers, quantity break widgets, and cart savings badges appear on your storefront, and you can set default values (discount type, target type, scheduling behavior, and more) for new Price Reduction and Quantity Break discounts.
These defaults only affect new discounts and widgets you create after saving them — they never change discounts or widgets that already exist.
Where to find shop-wide Settings
From your Shopify admin, open the GetSale app.
In the app navigation, go to Settings.
You'll see three collapsible cards:
Widget placement — default CSS selectors for timers, quantity break widgets, and cart savings widgets.
Price reduction defaults — default values for new Price Reduction discounts.
Quantity break defaults — default values for new Quantity Break discounts.
Click a card's header to expand or collapse it. Cards start collapsed, so click into the one you want to edit.
Default widget placement (CSS selectors) for timers, quantity breaks, and cart savings
If your theme is customized, GetSale's default widget position might not land where you want it on your product or cart pages. Rather than adjusting the selector on every timer, quantity break widget, or cart savings widget you create, set it once here and every new widget will use it automatically.
In the Widget placement card, you can set a Selector and a Placement (Above or Below) for each widget type:
Timer Selector — where countdown timers are inserted. Defaults to
form[action*="/cart/add"] button[type="submit"](i.e., next to your Add to Cart button), placed Above it.Quantity Widget Selector — where quantity break tables/widgets are inserted. Defaults to the same Add to Cart button selector, placed Above it.
Cart Savings Selector — where the cart savings message appears in your cart. Defaults to
.cart__footer, .cart-footer, placed Above it.
To update a widget placement default
Open the Widget placement card.
Edit the Selector field with a valid CSS selector from your theme (for example, a specific class or ID your theme uses for the product form or cart footer).
Choose whether the widget should appear Above or Below that element.
Repeat for any of the three widget types you want to customize.
Save your changes (see Saving changes below).
New timers, quantity break widgets, and cart savings widgets you create from this point on will use these selectors as their starting placement. You can still override the selector on an individual discount or widget if one page of your theme needs something different.
Tip: If you're not sure what selector to use, check your theme's product page or cart template for the class or ID around your Add to Cart button or cart footer, or ask your theme developer.
Default values for new Price Reduction discounts
The Price reduction defaults card pre-fills the fields on the discount creation form so you don't have to re-select the same options for every sale. It includes:
Default discount value — the numeric value pre-filled on new discounts (must be a positive number; percentages must be between 1 and 99.99, up to 2 decimal places).
Default value type — Percentage, Fixed amount, or Override price.
Default application type — how the discount is applied: Discount price, Discount compare at price, Price swap, or Both discounted.
Default target type — what the discount applies to by default: Products, Collections, Tags, Vendors, Product options, or Whole store.
Default discount code blocking — whether new discounts start with discount code blocking off (None), or blocking all, cart-level, or line-level codes.
Include draft or archived products by default — a checkbox controlling whether draft/archived products are included when targeting.
Default schedule behavior — whether a new discount starts inactive, activates as soon as it's saved, or starts with a scheduled start time.
Every field pre-fills the corresponding field on the Create discount form. You can still change any of them per-discount — this only sets the starting point.
Default values for new Quantity Break discounts
The Quantity break defaults card works the same way, but for Quantity Break rules:
Default value type — Percentage, Fixed Amount Off Each Product, or Fixed Amount Off Total.
Default discount conditions — Same product or Product mix. Note: if you set the value type to Fixed Amount Off Total, the conditions default automatically switches to Product mix, since fixed-total discounts can't be used with same-product conditions.
Default target type — Products, Collections, Tags, Vendors, or Whole store.
Default schedule behavior — same options as Price Reduction defaults: leave inactive, activate once saved, or schedule a start time.
Saving changes with the settings save bar
Settings uses the standard Shopify save bar, so changes across all three cards are reviewed and saved together:
Make your edits in any of the cards — you don't need to save each card individually.
As soon as any field changes, a save bar appears at the top of the page with Save and Discard buttons.
Click Save to persist all changed sections at once. Only the cards you actually changed are sent to the server.
Click Discard to revert all unsaved changes back to your last saved values.
If a field fails validation (for example, an empty selector or a percentage outside 1–99.99) when you click Save, the relevant card automatically expands so you can see and fix the error — you don't need to hunt for which card contains the problem. A green "Updated successfully!" badge confirms each section saved.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Why didn't my existing discounts or widgets change after I updated a default? Defaults only apply to items you create after saving the setting. Existing discounts and widgets keep the values or selector they were created with. To change an existing discount or widget, edit it directly.
My timer/quantity widget isn't appearing where I expect on the storefront. Double-check that the CSS selector in Widget placement actually matches an element on your theme's live product page — themes vary, and a selector that works on one theme (or one template within a theme) may not exist on another. Test on a real product page, and adjust the selector or placement (Above/Below) as needed.
Does changing the compare-at application type in Settings affect prices shown to all customers? The Default application type option (including "Discount compare at price") only sets what new discounts start with — how compare-at pricing displays can also be affected by regional pricing rules (for example, some regions suppress strikethrough/compare-at pricing regardless of your discount settings). If a discount isn't showing the strikethrough you expect, check the discount's own application type setting first.
I set a default but the create-discount form still shows the old value. Make sure you clicked Save in the settings save bar (not just changed the field) — unsaved edits won't be applied to new discounts.
