Special offers can be used for promoting products at a discounted price on your website for a specific period of time. When a customer buys online, the discounted price is shown on the order, so in the example below, the chair will be shown as list £40, price £40 (without a discount column on the invoice).
Note: To use special offers you will need to be subscribed to Ecommerce and have added a website.
You can set a special offer on any of your website products; it's a percentage discount, on a per pricelist basis, so you can have 10% discount of wholesale price for only your wholesale buyers, whilst keeping your RRP prices undiscounted, for example.
Special offers are only currently applicable for customers on the website; we'll have them in the back-office soon.
Create a Special Offer
To create a new special offer, follow these steps:
- Go to Products > List products/services.
- Find the items to be placed on offer, use the filters as required.
- Tick the checkbox next to any product to be discounted as part of this special offer.
- Click the Special offer button at the top of the listing.
- Select the price list that this discount will apply to.
- Enter the discount rate.
- Enter a start and end date and time in which this offer is valid.
- Click the Add Special button.
Your special offer will automatically become active when it hits the start date/time, and inactive when it reaches the end date/time. All your past, present and future special offers can be viewed at Products > Special offers. You can also delete them from here.
