Scheduling price changes

BEFORE SETTING A SCHEDULE FOR PRICE CHANGES HERE ARE SOME VERY IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:

• When a price change schedule reaches the end date & time, the prices will revert back to the exact price it was at the start of the schedule. If you manually change the price of a product while a schedule is running, the price will still go back to what it was before the schedule had started.

• Do not set more than one price change on the same product at the same time. This includes scheduling collections that contain the same product. This could result in a product being discounted on top of an existing discount!

• If an impossible discount is attempted (e.g. $50 discount on a product costing $20) then the price change will not be applied.

• When a scheduled discount is applied to a product, the original price is set as the "compare at price" which allows you to show the discount on your product.

To set a schedule for price changes, head to 'Schedules' and follow the normal process for your scheduling;

• Name your schedule
• Pick the type of schedule; in this case 'price discount or change' (shown below)
• Choose your Products or Collections (only available for unlimited plan)

Once you've chosen the above, you have the following options available for your price change schedules;

Discount prices: prices will be discounted/reduced by the amount or percentage you set.

Raise prices: prices will be increased by the amount or percentage you set.

Percentage: prices will be discounted/raised by the percentage value you set in the field below (e.g 20%).

Fixed amount: prices will be discounted/raised by an exact amount (e.g. +20)

Don't round prices: after the discount/price rise, the final prices will not be rounded.

Round prices up: when the discount/raise is applied, the price will be rounded up to a value of your choice. You can enter any value in pence so 0.00 - 0.99. For example, if you have a product that with a 10% discount is £9.00 but you want to round the prices up to £0.49 for everything, the price would be rounded up to £9.49

Round prices down: when the discount/raise is applied, the price will be rounded down to a value of your choice. You can enter any value in pence so 0.00 - 0.99. For example, if you have a product that with a 10% discount is £9.00 but you want to round the prices up to £0.49 for everything, the price would be rounded up to £9.49

There is a very handy "example" box that will show you an example discount/price raise based on the options you have selected:
