sales season

📅 The French Summer Sales start on Wednesday June 22, 2022 at 8 a.m. and end on Tuesday July 19, 2022 inclusive 📅


To help you update your product catalogs, our teams have prepared this article for you.

1 - General recommendations for your feed import

The display of sales is based on the field " crossed out price " which must contain from D day (a few hours before to be sure) the price of product before the sale period. The "price" field must contain the new one product price (ie: the sale price).

A few days before the D day, we recommend that you proceed to a check of the correct matching of your fields "price" and "crossed out price" within the "mega- mapping".

The day before D day, we recommend that you update your prices in the feed transmitted to us from the end of the afternoon in order to ensure that all the channels will have your discounted prices on time.

Attention: Some channenls require sale prices to be provided by a specific time / date, we invite you to carefully read the table below to know details of the channenls you work with.

It should be noted that some channels require you to also transmit dates start and end of sales, see details below.

Important : any product with a "crossed out price" different from the "price" during the periods of sales will be considered by BeezUP as sale. If it wasn't, he you will have to counter the effects of the automations described below

2 - Recommendations for your exported feeds

Although the vast majority of channels rely primarily on the field "crossed out price" to display the sales, some have other requirements. Table below summarizes them. Don't forget to match your price column crossed out with the field provided for each channel.

Remember you can use Custom Fields to modify some information in your flows 🔵Example: add the word SALE in your descriptions.

If, however, despite these explanations you have any questions, do not hesitate to submit a ticket.

> the sale_rank field is automatically (if your "discount-price" and "price" fields are different) set to 1 by BeezUP, but is not transmitted to RDC, it is used to manage your markdowns.
> the sales-price-x, sales-start-date-x and sales-end-date-x fields have their x value determined by the value entered in sale_rank.
> the sales-price-x fields are automatically fed by your "discount-price" field unless you fill in the "sale-price 'field, then the latter will be taken into account.

If you are communicating on different levels of markdown then you must pass values ​​for sale_rank and sales-start-date and sales-end-date.
If you want a sale price different from that of "discount-price" then map "sale-price" (don't forget to fill in "sale_rank", "sales-start-date" and "sales-end-date".
