Apply Discount According to Time

Learn how you can apply discount according to time.

Apply Discount for a Finite Time Period

For example, create a price list that sets the base price of a cell phone at $445 with no other adjustments, which sets the list price at $445. You can define a seasonal discount of 10% from December 10 to January 1, resulting in a net price of $400.50.

1. Create your discount list and set the attributes.

   Attribute	Value
   Name	Happy Holidays
   Start Date	12/10/20 12:00 AM
   End Date	1/1/21 11:59 PM

2. Add the Happy Holidays discount list to your pricing strategy.

   Pricing will apply the discount from the Start Date to the End Date.

Apply Two Discounts

What if I already discount my item by 10%, but want to add another 5% for this weekend only, which starts on 02/06/21, and then revert to 10% next week?

1. Create your normal discount list and set the attributes.

   Attribute	Value
   Name	Normal Discount
   Start Date	Anytime before today
   End Date	Leave empty

2. Create your weekend discount list and set the attributes.

   Attribute	Value
   Name	Weekend Happy Daze
   Start Date	02/06/21 12:00 AM
   End Date	02/07/21 11:59 PM

3. Add the discount lists to your pricing strategy.

   Name	Precedence
   Weekend Happy Daze	1
   Normal Discount	2

   Weekend Happy Daze has the highest precedence, so Pricing will apply it but only while Weekend Happy Daze is active. Pricing will apply Normal Discount before 02/06/21 12:00 AM and after 02/07/21 11:59 PM.
