Product Discounts
You can set up discounts for your products based on the discount policies you want to offer your customers. Below, you'll learn how to configure discounts for your products through your B2B Wave account.
Setting Product Discounts Manually
To set discounts for individual products manually, follow these steps:
Step 1. Go to the Products >Products menu on your Admin Dashboard and select the product for which you want to set a discount.
Step 2. On the “Editing product” page that opens, select the “Discounts” tab. Here you can start adding your product’s discounts for each of your price lists. There are two options for product discounts you can choose from:
- A percentage discount, which is based on the product’s initial price
- A fixed final price applied to the product
Let’s look at the fields you will encounter on this page:
| Price List | Refers to the name of the price list that feature the product you want to apply a discount to |
| Initial price | Presents the initial price of your product per price list |
| From quantity | Set the minimum quantity for the discount to apply. If this does not apply, then leave this field empty |
| Percentage (%) | Enter the percentage discount you want to apply to the specific product. The final price will be automatically calculated based on the percentage you enter. For example, if a product’s original price is $100 and you apply a 10% discount, the Final Price field will display “90.” If you prefer to offer a fixed price discount, leave this field empty |
| Date from | If you want to offer a discount for a specific period, insert the date from which the discount is valid. Leave the field empty, if you do not want to set a time limit for this discount |
| Date to | If you want to offer a discount for a specific period, insert the date until which the discount rule is valid. Leave the field empty, if you do not want to set a time limit for this discount |
| Final price | Enter the product's final price in this field only if you want to offer a specific discounted price |
Importing Product Discounts
You can upload your product discounts in bulk if you have multiple product discounts or manage various price lists. To do so, follow the below steps:
Step 1. Go to Tools >Import Product Discounts on your Admin Dashboard.
Step 2. Download the sample file import or select the "Export Product Discounts" option to update existing product discounts for specific price lists.
NOTE: If you haven’t previously set any product discounts, we recommend downloading the sample file import and filling in the necessary information. If you have already set product discounts on your B2B eCommerce platform, we recommend choosing the “Export Product Discounts” option. Finally, if you wish to overwrite existing discounts, check the “Overwrite existing discounts” box.
Step 3. Fill in the spreadsheet with the required information. Specifically:
| product_sku | Insert the product’s code |
| b2b_product_id | Refers to the product’s identification code used internally for B2B Wave |
| percentage | Enter the figure of the percentage discount you want to assign to the specific product. If you want to apply a fixed price discount, then leave this cell empty |
| from_quantity | Set the minimum quantity for the discount to apply. If this does not apply, then type “0” |
| date_from | If you want to offer a discount for a specific period, insert the date from which the discount is valid. Leave the cell empty if you do not want to set a time limit for this discount |
| date_to | If you want to offer a discount for a specific period,insert the date until which the discount rule is valid. Leave the cell empty if you do not want to set a time limit for this discount |
| price | Type the product’s fixed final price. If you want to apply a discount percentage, then leave the cell empty |
Step 4. Go to Tools >Import Product Discounts, select the price list you want to import discounts for from the “Price List” drop-down menu, and click “Import” to upload your file. Remember that your file should be in .xlsx format.
