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.
