ShopSite Special Offers and Pricing FAQs

Here is a list of questions and answers about special offers and pricing. You may also want to view the Coupon FAQs.

How do I put products on sale?

Putting a product on sale requires setting a sale price and telling ShopSite to display the sale price. From the list of products, select a product that you want to put on sale, then click Edit Product Info. Enter a value in the On Sale Price field. At the bottom of the screen, click Edit Product Layout. Check the On Sale Toggle checkbox, then scroll down and click Save Changes. Click the Publish tab to make your changes appear in your store, and your product is on sale!

You can enter an On Sale Price for all products when you add them to your store or anytime after that in preparation for when you’ll put some or all of them on sale -- ShopSite will not display the sale price until you check the On Sale Toggle checkbox. Remember to use PowerEdit when you want to set On Sale Prices or the On Sale Toggle for more than one product at a time.

Can I set sale prices as a percentage off the regular price?

Yes, you can enter a percentage discount as a sale price. In the On Sale Price field, enter the discount and a percent sign, such as 10%. When you check the On Sale Toggle for that product, ShopSite will calculate and display the sale price as a percentage off the regular price. For example, a $10.00 product that has an On Sale Price of 15% will show a sale price of $8.50.

How do I offer quantity discounts for individual products?

ShopSite Pro lets you offer quantity-based pricing for individual products. On the Add a Product or Edit Product Info screen, enter the quantity ranges and prices that you want to offer. You can even enter sale prices for each quantity range. See the Edit Product Info help page for more information.

How do I offer volume discounts on large orders?

ShopSite Pro lets you offer per-order discounts to your customers based on the total amount of an order. Click on Merchandising and then Discount Schedule to define the discounts that you will offer. ShopSite will automatically calculate the discount on those orders that qualify. You should also include text on your store pages to let customers know about the discounts! See the Discount Schedule help page for more information.
