What can we help with?

The Price Slash page of the eTailPet system allows you to view, filter, and manage automatic product discounts available in your store. A Price Slash applies its discount automatically whenever its conditions are met, so the customer never has to enter a code at checkout. You can also create new Price Slash discounts from here.

Create a Dollar / Percentage Price Slash

Here is how to create a Price Slash that automatically reduces a dollar amount or a percentage off eligible products:

1. Name — Enter the internal Name you want to use to identify this price slash.
2. Price Slash Search Term — Enter a unique Search Term you can use to find this price slash in the list later. This field can include symbols, but does not allow spaces.
3. Date Range — Enter the Start Date and End Date (and time) during which the price slash will be active. The date and time you enter apply to the time zone shown in the Time Zone drop-list at the top of the page.
4. Discount Type — Select Dollar Off, Percent Off, or Cost + Percent Markup from the drop-list to set how the discount is calculated. Cost + Percent Markup only applies to In-Store purchases.

6. Minimum Number of Applicable Cart Items — Enter the minimum number of eligible items the customer must have in their cart for this price slash to apply.
7. Hide Price Online Until Cart — Check this box if you want to hide the discounted price for these products on your storefront website until the customer reaches the cart.
8. Require Matching Products — Check this box if you want the price slash to require the minimum cart quantity to be reached using the same matching product, rather than any combination of eligible products. To enable this feature, Minimum Number of Applicable Cart Items must be set to at least 2.
9. Delivery Methods — Select which fulfillment methods (Local Delivery, Store Pickup, Ship to Me, or In-Store) qualify for this price slash from the drop-list. If you don't select any delivery methods, all methods automatically qualify. If you only select In-Store, the price slash will not appear online.
10. Select Eligible Customer Types — Enter keywords to search for and select an existing customer type that qualifies for this price slash, or enter a new type name and click Create in the popup to add it.

12. Select Catalog — Select Public Catalog or Private Catalog from the drop-list to set the catalog to which this price slash applies.
13. Products to Include — Select Categories and/or Brands, Selected Products, or All Products from the drop-list to define which products are eligible for this price slash.
14. Available Categories — If you selected Categories and/or Brands above, select which product categories are eligible for this price slash by moving them from the Available Categories list into the Selected Categories list. You must select each subcategory individually, since selecting a parent category does not automatically include its subcategories. You can either double-click the Category, or click on the Category to highlight it, then click the Right Arrow button to move it into the Selected Categories list.
    
15. Available Brands — If you selected Categories and/or Brands above, select which product brands are eligible for this price slash by moving them from the Available Brands list into the Selected Brands list. You can use brand selection alone or combine it with selected categories. You can either double-click the Brand, or click on the Brand to highlight it, then click the Right Arrow button to move it into the Selected Brands list.
16. Create — Click the Create button in the bottom right once you finish entering the price slash details to save and create the new price slash.

Boss Quote
Make sure your human understands to give Price Slashes with care. Each one cuts into profit share, so while offering several is nice, don't price slash the whole store. Even a kitten knows that. Ooh! Something flashy, gotta pounce!
