Reglas del catálogo

Las 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.

Crear una nueva regla de catálogo

La página de formulario de creación tiene dos secciones, que le permiten construir con precisión nuevas reglas.

Reglas de precios específicas

El primer formulario es fácil de entender.

Aquí es donde establecerá quienes deben beneficiarse de esta regla, que clase de descuento debe aplicarse, y otros detalles.

• Name. The name is public, so you should keep it casual.
• Shop. Multistore mode only. The rule applies to customers who buy through a specific shop. Only available if you have at least two shops.
• Currency. The rule applies to customers who set to pay with a specific currency.
• Country. The rule applies to customers from a specific country.
• Group. The rule applies to customers who belong to a specific customer group.
• From quantity. The rule applies the order has at least a specific number of matching products.
• Price (tax excl.). The new price for the product. Here you can set the public price of the product that matches the rules that you are putting in place. By default, the rule applies to the base price.
• From and To. The rule applies in this time frame.
• Reduction type. The discount can either be an amount of money, or a percentage of the order total.
• Reduction. The value of the reduction. Depending on the "Reduction type" above, putting "10.0" in the field can either mean "$10 off" (depending on the default currency) or "10% off".

You can of course combine all of these rules.

Conditions

The "Conditions" section is where you set the products to which the category price rule applies. You only appears if you click on the "Add a new condition group" button.

Conditions are built around condition groups, meaning that your data from the "Specific price rule" section above can be applied to many different ranges of products.
Conditions are grouped in an inclusive manner: all conditions of the group have to apply for the catalog price to apply. Hence the "AND".
Meanwhile, condition groups are exclusive: only one group has to apply for the catalog price to apply. Hence the "OR".

The default condition group is empty. You can add conditions to it using the drop-down menus in the lower part of the section:

• Choose a category or any other type of selection, and then click on the "Add condition" button.
• The condition will appear in the condition group. You can put many conditions in a condition group.
• Once a group is completed and you want to create a new condition group, click on the "Add new condition group". A new group will then appear, which you can fill in the same way.

By default, new conditions are added to the condition group that was created last. If you need to add conditions to a previous group, click on that group to highlight it, and then add your conditions.
