Operating Instructions
Working with discount items:
The content of the Sales page on the main website is controlled by the Category class assigned to each item. This means that if a Category class of Sale, Blemished, or Discontinued has NOT been assigned to any item in the inventory, then the default view for the Sales page will show that no items are on sale at this time.
Once a Category class of Sale, Blemished, or Discontinued has been added to any product, the Sales Page will automatically update once the changes have been published.
The price shown on the Sales page is controlled controlled by the Price field of the product in the Products table in the CMS. If a value has been added to the Compare-at-price field in the Products table then both prices will automatically show up on the card displayed in the Sales page.
Sale Items:
Go to the Products table in the CMS
Select the product you want to put on sale.
Scroll down to locate the Price field. The Compare-at-price field should be right next to it. Items with multiple variants (ie. size,color, etc.) will have multiple Price and Compare-at price fields.The Price is what the customer will be charged at check-out. TheCompare-at price is the original price before the item went on sale, was Blemished, or was discontinued.
Copy the value in Price field to the Compare-at price field.
Enter the new sale price into the Price field.
Save your changes with the save button on the top right.
Next go to the Categories table in the CMS
Locate the category you want to assign to the product item (ie. Sale Item, Blemished, Discontinued) and click on the category item.
Scroll down to the Products field and click on the magnifying glassicon on the right of the ‘Pick Products…’ field.
Select the item that you want to put on sale.
Save your changes with the save button on the top right.
Close the Ecommerce window from the top left menu. Click on the ‘X’.
Go to the Sale Items page and verify the item is shown on sale withthe proper tag (ie. Sale, Blemished, Discontinued).
Discontinued Items:
Procedure is the same for putting an item on sale.
Blemished Items:
This procedure is slightly different since the Blemished product is different from the other products of the same type. First we need to make the product unique and then put the Blemished item on sale.
Go to the Products table in the CMS
Select the product name of the Blemished item.
Scroll to the bottom of the product listing and select the Duplicate button.
This will create a NEW item with the word ‘Copy’ appended to the end. All the fields will be exactly the same as the unblemished product.
I would recommend replacing the word ‘Copy’ with the word ‘Blemished’. You will notice the title of the Slug field will automatically change also.
Scroll down to the Price field
Copy the value in Price field to the Compare-at price field.
Enter the new sale price into the Price field.
Save your changes with the save button on the top right.
Next go to the Categories table in the CMS
Located the Blemished category and click on the category item.
Scroll down to the Products field and click on the magnifying glassicon on the right of the ‘Pick Products…’ field.
Select the item that you want to put on sale.
Save your changes with the save button on the top right.
Close the Ecommerce window from the top left menu. Click on the ‘X’. table in the CMS
Go to the Sale Items page and verify the item is shown on sale withthe proper tag (ie. Sale, Blemished, Discontinued).
