Running Sales & Promotions on Inventory Items

What a Sale Does

A sale lets you temporarily lower an item's price for a set period. You can offer a fixed sale price or a percentage discount, and the sale ends by itself when its timer runs out. It is promotional pricing only — your regular sell price, cost, wholesale price, and financial reports are never changed.

Enabling a Sale

The Sale / Promotion section appears on both the Add Item and Edit Item screens. For simple products it's on the Add form; for variable products, open the item's Edit page.

1. 1Open the item you want to promote — either while adding a new simple product, or from the Edit page of an existing item.
2. 2Find the Sale / Promotion card.
3. 3Turn on the Enable sale toggle to reveal the sale options.

Choosing a Sale Price or a Discount %

Pick how the discount is expressed. A fixed Sale Price is an exact amount; a Discount % takes a percentage off the regular price and Fixmo works out the final price for you.

1. 1Choose 'Sale price' to enter an exact amount (in whole rupees). It must be greater than 0 and less than the regular price.
2. 2Or choose 'Discount %' and enter a whole number between 1 and 99. Fixmo calculates the final sale price and rounds it to a whole amount.
3. 3The Regular Price is shown next to your input for reference.

Setting How Long the Sale Runs

Sales are timed. You set a duration from now — in days, hours, minutes, and seconds — and Fixmo works out the exact end time. Most of the time you'll just fill in Days and leave the rest at 0.

1. 1Enter the number of Days the sale should run.
2. 2Optionally fine-tune with Hours, Minutes, and Seconds.
3. 3The sale must run for at least 1 hour in total.

Previewing the Sale

As you set things up, the preview panel updates live so you know exactly what customers will see.

• The final Sale Price and how much is saved (amount and percentage).
• The exact date and time the sale will end.
• A live 'time remaining' countdown that ticks down as you watch.

Discounts on Variable Products

For a variable product, a percentage discount applies to all of its variants at once. Each variant's sale price is calculated from its own regular price, so a 15% discount takes 15% off each variant individually. Set the discount from the parent product's Edit page.

Editing or Ending a Sale Early

A sale isn't set in stone. You can adjust the price, the discount, or the duration at any time, or end it immediately.

1. 1Open the item's Edit page. The current sale is shown with its remaining time.
2. 2Change the sale price, discount %, or duration and save to update it.
3. 3To end a sale immediately, turn the Enable sale toggle off and save — the item returns to its regular price right away.
