How to implement discounts (Seasonal)

[Jairus34]

Hi community.

In the project that I am working, we're implementing seasonal sales and discounts for our shop, and I'm exploring how to achieve this using the features available in Aimeos. Here's the key functionality we're looking to implement:

• Set a Discount Period: Typically 3-5 days.

• Define Discount Rate: The discount rate can be set as a percentage.

• Eligibility: The discount applies to all products except gift cards, vehicles, and already discounted items.

• Automation: The system can automatically activate and deactivate discounts based on predefined periods.

• Admin Interface: Allows setting the discount rate and period, previewing discounts before activation, viewing a summary of affected products, and excluding specific products or categories from the discount.

I'd appreciate any guidance or best practices on implementing these features using Aimeos.

Thanks in advance!

1.) Specify start and end dates: https://aimeos.org/docs/latest/manual/coupon-details/
2.) Use the Percent coupon provider: https://aimeos.org/docs/latest/manual/c ... centrebate
3.) Use the category decorator to restrict discounts: https://aimeos.org/docs/latest/manual/c ... /#category

Hello, thank you for your response.

We are not using coupon codes for our discounts. I reviewed the Price Rules documentation (https://aimeos.org/docs/master/manual/rules/) and wanted to ask if it's possible to meet our requirements using Price Rules as well?

Yes, it works with price rules to as they also have a start and end date, a Percent provider for changing the prices and a Category decorator to apply the rule only to products from certain categories:
