Change product prices on Salla and Zid at a set time

Choose the Change Price card, enter the new price or the percentage or amount to increase or decrease, and set the time. With Restore it, the previous price comes back at the end time.

On Zid

On Zid, only the main price changes. The prices of the options do not change. The note about options that you see in the review step does not apply to a price change.

After the first run, open a product in your Zid dashboard and check that the price changed.

Result​

  • At the start time, PopAutomate starts the run within about a minute. It changes the products at about 10 minutes per 100 products.
  • Customers see the new price in place of the previous one. A price change does not add a crossed-out price.
  • With Restore it, the previous price comes back at the end time. On a repeating schedule, it comes back at the end of each run day, or at the end time you chose for the day.

To see what changed, read Schedule run results: what changed in your store?.

Rules​

  • PopAutomate calculates the percentage and the amount from the product's price at run time, and rounds the result to 2 decimals.
  • A percentage decrease must be below 100, or you see "Discount must be less than 100%." If a product's price would become zero or less, PopAutomate does not change it.
  • If the schedule repeats with a percentage or an amount, choose Restore it: "A repeating increase or decrease must be restored at the end of each run, or it adds up."
  • A price change changes the original price only. If a product has a discount running, its sale price stays as it is.
  • If you choose more than one category and they share a product, do not use a percentage or an amount. The price of that product can change twice.
  • A CSV file accepts new prices only: "CSV prices are new prices, not increases or decreases."
  • If you duplicate a price-change schedule that uses a percentage or an amount, the copy opens on New price with the same number. Choose the type and the direction again before you activate. To learn how to duplicate, read Duplicate a schedule: same settings, new dates.
  • If you change a product's price yourself after the run, PopAutomate does not restore it at the end, so your change stays.

To restore prices by hand before the end time, read Restore prices and products after a schedule ran.
