There are three ways to managing promotional pricing using the Shopify Connector - see below for a breakdown of each:
Shopify
A simple price adjustment in your Shopify store on the promotional items will always do the trick. Since this price is shared with your ecom store, this may not always be optimal.
Offer Price Rule - Mirakl Connect
The Shopify Connector has a price tool that allows brands to set a flat discount % across all products in their ShopSimon™ assortment. The discount % will be applied to Shopify 'price' value being sent to ShopSimon™.
Modify Offer Synchronization - Use Manual Import File To Manage Promotion
In Mirakl Connect, a retailer has the option to toggle which offer data is being sent and/or to turn off the synchronization altogether. For the promotion example, a retailer wants to stop sending price from Shopify and ultimately load a manual import price file to manage their ShopSimon™ promotion. Below is a list of steps to execute this option:
1. Turn off 'Price' in Mirakl Connect
Mirakl Connect > Marketplaces > Shopify Feed > View > Configuration tab > Offer Synchronization
- Deselect 'Price' field
2. Download ShopSimon™ 'Price' template file
3. Enter data into the following fields:
- offer-sku
- price - always on sale price
- discount-price - short term promotional price
- discount-start-date - date promotion begins - date/time formatting available in file (EST)
- discount-end-date - data promotion ends - date/time formatting available in file (EST)
4. Import file into ShopSimon™ portal - https://marketplace.sspo.com/mmp/shop/import
- File content = Prices
- Import mode = Delete and replace
Please make sure to communicate with your ShopSimon™ brand manager your promotional calendar and any activity around your assortment. This will help them promote your brand and bring additional exposure to your assortment.
