Getting started with Promotional discounts

Promotional Discounts allow you to create customized discounts for specific products and time periods directly from BackOffice. These discounts can range from temporarily reduced prices on a selected list of items to fixed discounts or reduced prices for specific product combinations, such as 'Buy 3 shirts, get 20% off'. Unlike regular discounts applied at checkout, promotional discounts are managed centrally and remain valid according to the terms you define.

You can create discounts of three different types, each designed to meet your promotional needs. Whether you want to offer fixed discounts or fixed prices on certain priduct combinations, or adjust prices during special campaigns, these options provide flexibility to enhance your sales strategies.

Discount types

• Fixed discount:

• Fixed price:

  Set a fixed price for a group of items, regardless of their original price. Ideal for bundle deals like "1 soft drink + 1 Marabou Helnöt for 50 SEK."

  
• Pricelist:

  Lowers the prices of selected items for a specific time period. Great for sales events like "October Sale: Pizzas from 180 SEK."
