This article explains how savings are calculated and displayed in the cart footer when compare-at prices are enabled.

​
Overview

Upcart can display total savings in the cart footer by combining:
  • Product savings from compare-at prices
  • Discount codes applied to the cart
This allows customers to clearly see how much they are saving before checkout.

​
How to use

  1. Open the Upcart editor
  2. Go to Cart Settings
  3. Locate Show Compare-at Price Savings in Footer Total
  4. Enable or disable the setting based on your preference

​
When enabled

The savings row includes both:
  • Compare-at price savings
  • Discount code savings

​
Example

Product A: Compare-at price 100,Currentprice100, Current price 80 (20% off)
Product B: Compare-at price 50,Currentprice50, Current price 40 (20% off)
Discount code applied: -$10 Savings breakdown:
  • Product A: 100−100 - 80 = $20
  • Product B: 50−50 - 40 = $10
  • Discount code: $10
With this setting enabled, the savings row shows:
Save $40 ((100 - 80) + (50 - 40) + 10)

​
When disabled

The savings row only includes discount code savings. Using the same example: With this setting disabled, the savings row shows:
Save $10 (discount code only)

​
Why this happens

Compare-at price savings are calculated as the difference between the original price and the current price. When this setting is enabled, Upcart adds these product-level savings to any discount codes applied to the cart. When this setting is disabled, only discount codes are included in the savings total shown in the footer.
