Customize Product List Pricing

[sadsciencee]

Coming off a week of client meetings with merchants in prep for BFCM. My clients' teams have spent a tremendous amount of time manually setting product pricing - either directly in the product listing or via metafields that I map to their liquid files - just to get pricing looking correct for their annual sale periods.

Once items are in the cart, Functions API kicks in and that's great, but the product listings themselves are missing relevant discount information. The only options we have are to use a theme extension on the product.json templates (fine but doesn't fit all situations) or client side load the scripts (difficult to maintain and hard to support unless we're familiar with the theme).

If there was a Functions API that granted us the ability to modify the list price of products on the server (liquid) level for online store I would have been able to spend 2 hours writing a script and my clients could have given an employee a couple days off.

There are some app solutions out there but the client side loading is a deal breaker for a lot of clients & it doesn't play well with SEO schemas or accessibility.
