How to set up discounts?

Pricing v1

1. Go to Mappings, Offer mappings on your marketplace.
2. Make sure that both Price and Discount price are mapped. The requirements are described below:

• The 'from' price must be mapped under Price. The 'for' price must be mapped under Discount price.
• These fields cannot be mapped with the same attribute or value. There is an active validation that only sets a discount if the value under Discount price is lower than the value under Price. If this is not the case, only one price is exported.
• While Price may result in a lower price (e.g.: because a 10% discount price rule is applied), the final price may differ depending on other pricing rules set.
• Do not leave Discount start date and Discount end date unmapped. Otherwise, the offer is not exported, and errors are shown under the Validation and feedback tab. Use the following format for these attributes: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss zz. E.g.: 2021-08-25 15:33:00 +01, 2021-05-15 12:21:09 -02. If you want to set a permanent discount, use a date in the far future as your Discount end date.
• If you do not want to set a bulk discount, leave the Discount quantity threshold attribute unmapped – otherwise the export is broken.
• If you do want to set a bulk discount, the Discount quantity threshold must be set to a value higher than 1. E.g.: a value of 2 indicates that two or more of the product must be purchased at the same time for the buyer to benefit from the discount.

The 'for' value should always be lower than the 'from' value. If the 'for' value is higher, then ChannelEngine does not export any discounted pricing. If set up correctly, your product displays a discount label and a strikethrough price on the channel.

Pricing v2

If you use pricing v2, the process of setting up discounts/strikethrough pricing is substantially different from pricing v1.

1. Go to Mappings, Offer mappings on your marketplace.
2. Make sure that Strike price is mapped.
   • Map the 'from' price under Strike price. I.e.: the regular price, the higher of two prices.
   • Map the Discount start date and Discount end date attributes to indicate the start and end date of your discount. Use the following format for these attributes: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss zz. E.g.: 2025-05-25 15:33:00 +01, 2021-05-15 12:21:09 -02. If you want to set a permanent discount, use a date in the far future as your Discount end date.
3. Go to Pricing, Price rules.
4. Make sure that Price is mapped. Both Min. price and Base price fields must be mapped.
   • Map the 'for' price under Price. I.e.: the discounted price, the lower of two prices.
   • Note that these attributes (Price and Strike price) cannot be mapped to the same value. ChannelEngine only sets a discount if the value in Price is lower than the value in Strike price. Otherwise, no discount is applied.
5. Same as in pricing v1, if you do not want to set a bulk discount, leave the Discount quantity threshold attribute unmapped.
6. If you do want to set a bulk discount, the Discount quantity threshold must be set to a value higher than 1. E.g.: a value of 2 indicates that two or more of the product must be purchased at the same time for the buyer to benefit from the discount.

If set up correctly, your product displays a discount label and a strikethrough price on the marketplace.
