Scheduling a Price Increase
Once you have created your new price increase schedule and given it a name, you can now set the value of the increase you wish to schedule:
You have two options for the type of price increase:
- Percentage: prices will be increased by the percentage value you set in the field below (e.g. 20%).
- Fixed amount: prices will be increased by an exact amount (e.g. + $20)
If you have selected percentage then you have three options for how to handle rounding:
- Do not round prices: after the price increase, the final prices will not be rounded.
- Round to the nearest whole number: when the price increase is applied, the price will be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, if you have a product that is $10 and you schedule a 7% increase, the 7% increase would take the price to $10.70 if no rounding were to be applied. When round to the nearest whole number is selected, the increased price would be $11.00
- Round to a decimal place: when the increase is applied, the price will be rounded to a value of your choice. For example, if you have a product that with a 10% price increase is $9.80 but you want to round the prices to the nearest 0.99, set this value to 0.99 and the price will be to $9.99.
Important things to consider
If you do not set an end date & time, it will be impossible for the app to revert the prices back to their original prices.
- If you have set an end date & time, 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!
