Flash Sale Tool

117 votes

A functionality that allows the creation of a flash sale with the following features:
1. The ability to reduce prices site/category wide by a percentage;
2. The option to choose whether the original price is displayed on the Product page besides the new flash sale price;
3. The option to add sale promo stickers or similar visual indicator to these products;
4. The option to set a start and end date on the flash sale - once the date has expired, all of the content returns to the former state.

The goal is to make setting up a flash sale take roughly two minutes, without having to amend the RRP field and apply promo stickers via Import/Export and set up a timed discount within the Discount Management feature, which is how the same offer would be set up currently.

ability to set a sale for a period of time, perhaps 7 days or a month
but timer would countdown backwards, which give customers that extra nudge to purchase before the sale ends

This will reduce the admin of having to keep amending prices on individual products.

I know this can be done using the discount manager, but this does not show the price reduction for the customer.

Having an expiry time would automatically put the price back to the standard price.

This would be an incredibly useful feature especially for Black Friday etc, and I believe this feature is already offered by Shopify.

Yes, this is 100% needed.
I have added the same suggestion earlier today, and just seen this has already been put forward.
Shame it isn't in place nearly two years later.

desperate need of this! :( adding the discount feature is not enough, customers need to see how much % they are getting off the product with the price marked down before and after!

The old system is outdated, difficult to use and needs a lot of manual input to get the discounts people need.

We need a better discount management system that can automatically offer x for y discounts, by simply adding a product to it and overall price, rather than reducing the price by this much, automatically generated discount codes, being able to use discounts multiple times i.e if they trigger a 3 for x amount, and buy 6, the discount will trigger twice.

I used EposNow till system in my store and it's so much easier to set up discounts, literally takes minutes, I'd be happy to show someone that to give you guys an idea. But the old discount management system is rubbish, and leaves us lagging behind offering better discounts that others can offer on the likes of Shopify, etc.
