Description
Specify the amount or percentage of discount the product has. The values entered are exact values, no calculation is made. This is the same as filling in a discount via the Product Discount List. If the discount already exists, it will not be added to the database but the product will be linked to the existing discount. The criteria for determining if a discount already exists the following values have to be an exact match:
-
Amount, be it a total or percentage
-
Start date
-
End date
This prevents from filling the database with a huge number of the same discounts.
Further it is possible to set a start and/or end date for a discount. See the product_discount_date_start and product_discount_date_end fields.
