There are two ways to manage promotional pricing using the Magento Connector - see below for a breakdown of each:
Magento
A simple price adjustment in your Magento 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.
Modify Price Sync - Use Manual Import File To Manage Promotion
In the Magento Connector, a retailer has the option to remove price data from being sent via the connector. In this example the retailer will pause the price data from being sent and revert to loading a manual import price file to manage their ShopSimon™ promotion. Below is a list of steps to execute this option:
1. In the 'Exported Prices Attribute' field, turn off the price field - Click Save.
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.
