MUFATECH CLEARANCE / SHOPIFY APP
Coming to the Shopify App Store
Mufatech Clearance shows how long your stock has gone without a sale, marks it down as it ages, never under the margin floor you set, and puts back only the prices it changed when you stop.
Clearance is not listed yet, so it cannot be installed. Store Diagnosis, our free app, is live on the Shopify App Store now and shows the stock that is not selling and the money held in it.
HOW IT WORKS
Most apps start with the discount. Clearance starts with how long each item has gone without a sale and why, because a markdown is not always the answer, and it always keeps a way back.
Every variant on one map, sized by the money in it at cost and coloured by days without a sale. Stock waiting for its season is set apart, so it is never counted as stuck.
You see every new price before it goes live. Each markdown is checked against your margin floor: a variant that would go under it is blocked and keeps its price, and every other row has Restore price.
Each campaign shows what it sold, the margin kept and the stock left. Ending it puts back every price the app changed; a price someone else changed since stays as it is.
Screens from the app, on a sample store. The app shows the same things with your own products and numbers.
THE APP
Four screens of the app on a sample store, at a desktop width. Pick one to see it whole.
The stuck money first, valued at cost, and an estimate of what waiting costs a day. Below it, the money in stock split by days without a sale, which adds up to the same total as Store Diagnosis.
Then one next step, the products holding the most money, the Mark down as it ages rule, live campaigns with their end dates, and sales by month.
What the campaign has sold at cost, sales by day, the margin kept and the stock left, and the margin at full price against the markdown price.
Every variant’s price is drawn against its margin floor and unit cost. A variant the floor blocks keeps its price, and each row has Restore price.
All your stock as one map. Each tile is a variant, sized by the money in it at cost and coloured by how long it has gone without a sale.
Switch to Stuck only to see just the stock that needs a plan. Hover a tile for its figures, or show the map as a table.
The money in stock by days without a sale, as tiles and one bar: new stock, season ahead, no sale in 90 to 179 days, 180 to 364 days, a year or more, and never sold.
Every variant with its last sale, units and value at cost. Mark a variant Do not reorder so the next dead stock is not bought.
THE MARGIN FLOOR
You set the lowest price the app may ever set for a variant. It is worked out from what the item really costs you, not from a percentage you hope is safe. Try it: drag the markdown deeper and watch where it stops.
Above your floor of $38.83. This price can go live.
BEYOND A DISCOUNT
Stuck stock is money you already spent. These tools get it back in the way that costs you the least, and some of them never touch the price at all.
An always-on rule for stock that stops selling. After 90 or 180 days without a sale, as you choose, a variant joins a markdown ladder that suits your trade, such as 15% off, then 25%, then 40%, six weeks apart. You get a notice listing each variant before its first markdown, and you can untick any of them.
The money in your stock by days without a sale, adding up to the same money in stock as Store Diagnosis. Mark a whole group down, or mark a variant Do not reorder.
Each stuck variant gets one reason: not selling, selling slowly, season ahead, broken sizes, back from returns or not being seen. New stock is left alone. Pro adds a plan for each reason.
An estimate of what stuck stock costs you each day you hold it, at a holding cost you can change in Settings, and the point where a markdown now costs less than waiting.
Say how much cash you want to raise and by when. The app picks the markdowns that reach it for the least margin, and shows how likely the goal is as a range, not a promise.
Instead of marking it down, seasonal stock comes off the online store at the end of its season and goes back on before its strong months, at full price. You see the dates and can undo them.
A stuck item becomes a free gift above a cart value the app suggests, while stock lasts and within a daily limit. It is counted at cost, and never takes an order below zero margin.
A block on slow products lets shoppers say the price they would buy at. Before any markdown you see how many wait at each price. The app keeps counts only, never names or emails.
A daily price history from install. The compare-at price and the percentage off are worked out from the lowest price of the 30 days before a markdown, with warnings when a rule is at risk, and a block that shows that price on the product page.
Screens from the app on a sample store; the wish list and the 30-day low are drawn with sample figures. The EU and UK help makes the rules easier to follow; it is not legal advice, and applying them to your store is your decision.
SAFETY, ON EVERY PLAN
An app that changes prices has to be the one you trust most. These five safeguards are part of every plan, including Free, and are never sold as extras.
Old and new prices, compare-at prices, margins and stock for every variant. No price changes until you confirm.
No markdown goes under your margin floor, whatever is typed. A variant that would is blocked by the floor and keeps its price.
Ending a campaign puts back every price the app changed. A price someone else changed since stays as it is and is listed for you.
If a price in a live campaign is changed outside the app, you choose: use our price again, or keep the other price. Many changes at once pause the campaign.
One button ends every campaign and puts back every price the app changed. Use it before you uninstall: after that, Shopify no longer lets any app restore prices.
PLANS
Every plan scans your whole catalogue and includes every safeguard. Paid plans never count your variants, and are billed by Shopify with your other charges, in US dollars.

PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY
Clearance needs to change prices, so it asks for write access to products. It asks for nothing about who your customers are.

The app follows the language your Shopify admin is set to, with amounts in your store’s currency.
Not yet. It is coming to the Shopify App Store and cannot be installed until it is listed there. To see your dead stock today, install Store Diagnosis, our free app, which is live on the Shopify App Store: it shows the stock that is not selling and the money held in it. Clearance’s stock age adds up to the same money in stock.
Not below your margin floor: the unit cost plus your minimum margin, the payment fee, the shipping you pay and the expected cost of returns. A price under the floor never goes live, whatever is typed; you can lower the floor yourself in Settings. A variant with no unit cost in Shopify is left out until you add one, because the app does not guess a cost before it changes a price.
From the day each variant last sold, read from your orders. Your stock is grouped by days without a sale (new stock, season ahead, no sale in 90 to 179 days, 180 to 364 days, a year or more, and never sold) and valued at cost. The groups add up to the same money in stock as Store Diagnosis. Until Shopify approves the app’s access to older orders, it reads the last 60 days of orders and says so on the page.
It is a rule that runs on its own. You choose when stock joins (no sale in 90 or 180 days) and a ladder that suits your trade, for example 15% off, then 25%, then 40%, six weeks apart. Before the first markdown you get a notice listing every variant that would join, and you can untick any of them. The Free plan has one rule; Pro and Plus have any number.
Shopify removes an app’s access the moment it is uninstalled, so no app can put prices back after that. Prices the app changed stay as they are. Before you uninstall, press Stop all campaigns on the home page: it ends every campaign and puts back the prices the app changed. 48 hours after you uninstall, Shopify asks us to erase your store’s data, and everything Clearance holds about your store is deleted then.
The app notices it and asks what you want: use our price again, or keep the other price. If many prices change at once, the campaign pauses and tells you. When the campaign ends, a price someone else changed stays as it is and is listed, never overwritten.
A bulk editor changes the prices you pick. Clearance starts from how long each item has gone without a sale and why it is stuck, and suggests what to do about it, which is not always a markdown. It checks every new price against your floor, shows a preview before any price changes, and keeps a record of every price it changes so it can put back exactly what it changed.
No. The price-drop wish list keeps only how many shoppers wait at each price, never who they are. When a markdown reaches a wished price, a Shopify Flow trigger lets your own email tool write to the shoppers who agreed to hear from you.
On Pro and Plus it helps you follow them. It keeps a daily price history, uses the lowest price of the 30 days before a markdown as the price the discount is measured from, warns about a price raised shortly before a markdown or a sale that runs too long, and can show the lowest price of the last 30 days on the product page in EU markets. Applying the rules to your store is still your decision, and the app is not legal advice.
Answer one question: do you sell wholesale, or does your accountant need a record of every price change? If not, Pro has what you need, the EU and UK 30-day low included. If you do, Plus adds B2B catalog prices, the evidence log and the accountant pack. Free lets you run up to 3 campaigns and 200 variants at once first, with markdown suggestions and ladders, one Mark down as it ages rule and every safety feature. Paid plans never count your variants.
Pro and Plus have a 14-day free trial. It is offered when you reach a limit of the Free plan or open a Pro or Plus feature, not at install. The trial end date and the amount Shopify will bill are shown once when it starts and once around day 10, with no countdowns. Shopify bills the plan with your other charges, and you can change or cancel it on Shopify’s plan page.
Nothing is undone behind your back. Markdown ladders are part of every plan, so a running ladder keeps its steps, and campaigns over the new limit stay live until their end date but cannot be extended.
Fourteen: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Korean, Swedish, Danish and Polish. The app follows the language your Shopify admin is set to.
On Mufatech’s own server with Hetzner in Germany, with daily backups on Cloudflare R2. The daily price history is kept for up to 400 days while the app is installed, so the 30-day low always has the days it needs.
