Advanced Pricing and Staged Content
This information is helpful for Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure 2.1.X and 2.2.X.
Typically, you can set Advanced Pricing for products through the Products > Catalogs area of the Admin. With Staged Content, complete a few extra steps to add the pricing to a promotion and campaign.
To edit Advanced Pricing and update Content Staging:
- Log in to the Admin.
- Navigate to Products > Catalog and select a product and edit.
- In the Pricing tab, select Advanced Pricing. Edit the price and Save changes.
- At the top of the page, click Schedule New Update.
- Create a promotion for the product.
- Complete the promotion information. For the Scheduler, enter a begin and end date and time.
- Save the promotion. An inactive initial campaign is created.
- You can Preview to review the special price, promotion name, regular price, and the scheduled date range for the campaign.
For additional steps, you can continue with instructions with Schedule Changes for Catalog Price Rules. Click Next to walk through the steps.
Price Rules
Price rules can include logic and conditions as limitless as your marketing imagination. Some popular examples include Buy One Get One Free, Buy One Get One 50% Off, a $25 dollars off on orders over $100 dollars, and more.
To create a Price Rule, see Adobe Commerce User Guide.
The following provides an example of creating a Price Rule for a First Order Only discount. For this discount, you would want to:
- Create a price rule with a customer segment with a condition: Total Number of Orders less than 1
- Add this customer segment as a condition to the cart rule
- Optional - Add conditions and rules to apply the discounts to specific SKUs or categories of products for focused purchases
This ensures net-new customers or existing customers who have not made a purchase receive the discount only on their first order. You could create banners and send email promotions for the first-time purchase discount.
Store views
You can set up and run several stores with a single implementation of Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure. See Set up multiple websites or stores.
For stores that do not interact with each other, you can create multiple websites. Each website has specific articles, customer data, checkout, and shopping cart that are not shared with other websites in Adobe Commerce.
Each website can include one or more stores with different categories and articles, shared customer data, checkout, and shopping cart. For these stores, a customer can sign up once and shop across different catalogs of products with a single checkout.
Also, you can create store views for different languages, layouts, and designs. Each view can have a separate domain, branding, and language while sharing articles, customer data, checkout, and shopping cart.
The following are examples to better explain:
-
Single website with one store and two views for English and Spanish locale. All article data, customers, checkout, and shopping cart are shared.
-
Single website with a store for women’s clothing includes two views: one for English and one for Spanish. The store for children’s clothing includes a single store view in English. All article data, customers, checkout, and shopping cart are shared. The stores may have different domains and themes.
-
Two websites one for clothing and another for home decor with different catalogs and separate articles, customer data, and shopping cart. Each website could have multiple stores and views sharing articles, customer data, checkout, and shopping cart only within that website.
