Digital price tags that keep shelf and checkout pricing aligned

Digital price tags give store teams a controlled way to update shelf pricing, promotions, and product details without paper relabeling. Canister Software helps retailers select, install, and run the right shelf-edge displays for each store format.

Shelf prices that change when the system changes

Digital price tags reduce the lag between an approved price change and what customers see in the aisle. That matters for promotions, competitor response, seasonal markdowns, and compliance-sensitive categories.

  • Publish updates by store, department, category, or product group
  • Schedule promotion start and end times from a central workflow
  • Show price, unit price, product details, barcode, and promo messaging

Better control than paper tags

Paper labels depend on print queues, manual sorting, store labor, and manager verification. Digital tags create a visible update trail and make it easier to confirm what changed.

  • Lower recurring labor for weekly and daily price changes
  • Fewer shelf-to-checkout pricing disputes
  • Cleaner shelf presentation across locations

Hardware matched to the shelf

Not every department needs the same display. Small shelf labels, larger signage, freezer-ready mounts, and bin-label setups all have different constraints.

  • Small and mid-size shelf-edge e-ink labels
  • Larger promotional and product information displays
  • Mounting accessories for shelves, hooks, freezer doors, and back-room bins

Common questions

Are digital price tags the same as electronic shelf labels?

In retail, digital price tags and electronic shelf labels usually refer to the same category: shelf-edge displays that update pricing and product information electronically.

Can digital price tags show more than price?

Yes. Many tags can show unit pricing, barcodes, product names, origin, promo messaging, nutrition or allergy notes, and internal status information depending on screen size and template setup.

Do digital price tags work for multiple stores?

Yes. A centralized setup can publish pricing by store, region, department, or product group so multi-location teams can keep shelf prices consistent.
