The specials function is an easy way to mark down the prices on products. It should be noted that it is different than featured products. Featured products are simply highlighted, without any change to their price.
1. To set items as specials, navigate to "Specials" under "Catalog" in the backend of your site.
2. On the next page, select "new product".
3. This button will take you to a page where you enter information about the product you will be setting on special.
The first field requires you to type the name of the product. You may want to open the page for this product in another tab in your browser from which to copy the title of the product.
The "Special Groups" field allows you to only offer the special price to specific groups such as law enforcement or members of a frequent shoppers club.
The "Special Price" field is where you enter the exact price at you want to sell this product or the percentage that you want to deduct from the original price.
The "Expiry Date" field can be set to automatically end the discount on a particular date. If no date is set, the discont remains until you return to your specials page in the backend to turn it off.
4. Click "insert" to complete the process.
5. To check products on special, or to discontinue specials, return to your specials by navigating to "Specials" under "Catalog" in the backend of your site.
6. You can deactivate a special by clicking its red (off) status button as shown on the top two products in the example picture. Specail prices can also be permanently deleted by clicking "delete" after selecting a product. This does not delete the product. It only deletes record of its special price.
