How to create a Flash Sale

Step-by-step guide to create a Flash Sale on Shopify with Planet

Updated over 4 months ago

Do you want to increase your sales by creating discounts on your products? In this guide, you will learn how to create discounts with Planet.

The first step to creating a discount is to add a new rule. To do this, you must access the rules page and click on "add rule".

When you do this, a pop-up will appear with the available presets to create your rule. In this case, to create a discount on the product price you should choose the "Price discount" or "New fixed price" presets.

In this way, depending on the selected template, there will be a discount of a percentage or fixed amount, or a change in the price of our products at a specific price, reducing the prices for a period of time.

Remember that, although in this use case we are not looking to increase prices, the price change template can also be used to change the price to a higher one.

Discount Configuration

1. Products

To create a rule in any of the available templates, you must choose the products on promotion.

2. Actions

The mandatory action in the "price discount" is the discount action, allowing you to configure the discount by percentage or a fixed amount.

In the discount configuration, you can choose whether or not to show the compare at price and, optionally, you can set the rounding of the price with the chosen termination.

In the discount created with the preset "new fixed price", you only choose a fixed price for all the selected products. For example, all the bags are $30 for 6 hours.

On the other hand, as an optional action, it will be possible to change tags, which will affect the previously selected products and will have the same duration as the discount.

3. Widgets

It will be necessary to add the widget block in the Shopify theme to allow them to be displayed on the product page.

3.1 Banner on product page

Optionally, you can add a banner on your product page to inform your customers of the promotion.

Texts and appearance of this banner are customizable for each rule.

4. Schedule the rule

When you create the rule, the date of rule creation will be set as the default start date. You can edit the start date and optionally, add an end date or more schedules.
