Title: How to put products "on sale"
Post by: jmrcrp on June 25, 2012, 17:34:03 PM
I have searched the forum, the FAQs, and the wiki, and I can't seem to find an answer to this.

I have a few products I want to put on sale (discounted price).  I want it to show the original price, and the sale price.  How do I do this?  I just can't seem to figure it out.  I'm sure it's something very obvious, but I'm a newbie and I am stuck on this problem.

Thanks so much for any help.

I'm new at this too but it seems to me what you have to do is:

Create an unpublished Category called On Sale
Create a Calculation Rule based on on the On Sale category of say 50% off (Discount before Tax)
Make sure the products you want to put on sale are added to the On Sale category
In your Shopper Group, make sure you are displaying Salesprice without tax and Discounted price without tax

There may be a couple of other things to configure but that should get you started.
