Check this article for general steps of creating a campaign. In current article, we will focus on the configurations specifically related to 'General discount & clearance sale' campaigns.
1. Set the discount/pricing.
You can set the discount/pricing to percentage, fixed amount, or new price:
Percentage: Determine the percentage reduction, such as offering a 10% discount on all products.
Fixed Amount: Decide on a specific amount to discount, like a $10 discount on select items.
New Price: Set a new price for eligible products, for instance, pricing all items at $20.
2. Set advanced price change features
Customize the cents.
To maintain a consistent appearance for your discounted prices, you have the option to set predefined decimals for your final prices. For example, you may choose to have all your discounted prices end in '0.99'. This ensures a uniform look across your products during the sale.
For product already discounted, calculate the discount based on "compare-at price
When applying discounts to products that are already discounted, you can choose to base the new discount calculation on the original "compare-at price" rather than the current discounted price. For instance, if a product has a compare-at price of $50 and is already marked down to $40, applying an additional 20% discount with this option enabled will calculate the discount from the $50, resulting in a $10 reduction (20% of $50). The final price would then be $30
Keep current price and set a higher compare-at price.
Select this option to increase the original price of your product while maintaining its current selling price. For example, if your product is currently priced at $10 and you activate a 50% discount campaign with this option enabled, the selling price will stay at $10, while the compare-at price will be adjusted to $20, reflecting a 50% discount. If a compare-at price is already set, the selling price will remain unchanged, and the compare-at price will double accordingly for a 50% discount, as illustrated.
