Sales

With sales, marketplace operators can offer automatic discounts to customers on your marketplace. Sales help attract more customers by with various promotion options:

• Create sales to offer product discounts or free shipping that automatically apply.
• Product sales can be a fixed-rate price reduction (for example, $20 off) or a percentage discount (for example, 20% off).
• Product sales can apply to individual variants, groups of products, entire categories, or collections.
• Offer volume discount sales by requiring a minimum number of items in the cart.
• Sales are flexible in duration and you can choose the date for it to expire or let them go on indefinitely.

The storefront displays on-sale products with a sale badge and displaying the sale price side-by-side with the original price:
