Deals with a countdown
Put a product on a percentage-off deal between two times. While it runs, the site shows the deal price, the price before and a countdown, and checkout charges the same. Afterwards the normal price is back by itself.
PLANSFrom Growth
The problem it solves
- A weekend sale is set up on Friday night and someone forgets to put the prices back on Monday.
- The banner says 20 % off but the cart charges the full price.
- Buyers see no reason to order today rather than next week.
- Changing the price itself for a sale also changes it in every other channel.
How it works
- Open the product, Online Shop tab, and fill Deal Discount (%), Deal Starts (optional) and Deal Ends (needed).
- Before the start nothing changes. When the deal starts, the site shows the lower price, the normal price struck through, a Limited time deal flag and a countdown.
- Every 15 minutes SmartMy sends again the shops whose deals started or ended, so lists and feeds stay right.
- At checkout the same percentage comes off the order line, on top of any bulk price.
- When the deal ends, the product page and checkout go back to the normal price without anyone touching it.
Everything it does
A deal
- Deal Discount (%): more than 0 and less than 100
- Deal Starts: empty means at once
- Deal Ends: needed, and after the start
- Applies to every option of the product
- One deal at a time per product
On the site
- The deal price on cards and the product page, with the normal price as price before
- Limited time deal flag and a countdown to the end
- Counts as On sale for the shop's On sale filter
- The site checks the start and end itself on every page, so a deal never shows after it ended
At checkout
- The same percentage is a discount on the order line
- It adds to a buy more, pay less step, and a percentage code comes off on top
- The product's own sale price is never changed

Questions
Do I need to change the price back after the sale?
No. The product's own price is never changed. The deal applies only between its start and end.Can I schedule a deal for next week?
Yes. Set Deal Starts in the future. The site shows nothing until then and the shop is sent again within 15 minutes of the start.Can I put a whole category on sale at once?
Not in one step. Set the deal on each product, or give buyers a percentage discount code for the whole order instead.Does a deal add up with a discount code?
Yes. A percentage code comes off the deal price.Related features
