Sales and Discounts Case Study

The Business Problem

The shops had no safe way to run a sale on limited stock. There was no way to offer a reduced price only while a limited batch of stock lasted, and quantities in the basket could throw the pricing out. Discount codes were limited, and couldn't be set up as a fixed amount off for a single use. Every organisation also had to use the same full checkout, even where a quicker purchase would suit them better.

The Solution

wildesoft.net added proper offer handling to the shops:

• sale items with an offer price tied to the stock available: once the sale stock runs out, the item goes back to its normal price automatically
• quantity checks in the basket, so the sale price is applied correctly however many items a customer orders
• offer prices that can be set in bulk through the product import
• strike-through pricing so customers see the saving, and fixes so the catalogue always shows the right price
• discount codes for a fixed amount in pounds, with single-use codes, and later codes that can be used more than once where a club wants that
• a quick purchase shop mode that organisations can switch on for a faster checkout, with prices shown including or excluding VAT.

Administrators can edit offer prices and export either all products or only the live ones.

The Result

ACE can now run sales and promotions without the risk of selling items at a sale price once the sale stock has gone. Clubs get flexible discount codes, and organisations that want a quicker checkout can have one.
