Reglas del catálogo
Catalog price rules enable you to assign price reductions by category, manufacturer, supplier, attribute or feature. As its name implies, this type of rules applies to a range of products; it cannot be used for a single product. If you need a discount applied to a single product, you must create a cart rule instead or create a specific price (in the "Price" page of the product's edition page).
For instance, you can set a rule that would say that for Spanish customers belonging to the "Good clients" group would get 10% off on your Electronics category and all Sony products for the first week of July.
The "Catalog price rules" page lists the currently existing rules, which you can edit or delete by clicking on the icons in the "Status" column. If you need to disable a rule, simply change its end date to the day before.
Creating a New Catalog Price Rule
The creation form page has two sections, enabling you to precisely build new rules.
Specific price rules
The first form is easy to understand.
This is where you set who should benefit from the rule, what the discount should be, and other detailsLas reglas del catálogo le permiten aplicar descuentos por categoría, fabricante, proveedor, atributo o característica. Como su nombre indica, este tipo de reglas se aplica a una gama de productos; estas no se puede utilizar para un solo producto. Si necesita que un descuento se aplique a un solo producto, debe crear una regla de compra, o crear un precio específico (en la pestaña "Precio" de la página de edición del producto).
Por ejemplo, puede establecer una regla que diga que los clientes españoles que pertenecen al grupo de "buenos clientes" obtengan un 10% de descuento en la categoría de Electrónica en todos los productos de Sony durante la primera semana de julio.
La página "Reglas del catálogo" lista las reglas actuales existentes, las cuales puede modificar o eliminar haciendo clic sobre los iconos establecidos para ello en la columna "Acciones". Si tiene que deshabilitar una regla, simplemente cambie su fecha de finalización al día anterior.
