0:00What a sale does
This is the Sales page. It puts items on sale on every connected marketplace at once, for as long as you choose. When the sale ends, the full prices go back by themselves, and Artifactly keeps your full price throughout. Show Guide, at the top, opens the help for this page.
0:22How each marketplace shows it
Each marketplace shows a sale in its own way, and the page says how. eBay uses its own sale label, a markdown discount. eBay allows fourteen days at most, so a longer sale stops sooner on eBay. Shopify shows the full price crossed out. Etsy has no sale tool, so the price itself goes down and then back up. And your website shop, on WooCommerce, uses its own sale price with an end date.
0:51Your sales list
Your sales lists every sale you have made: its name, whether it is running, the discount, how many items, its dates, and how many items changed on each marketplace. The demo shop has none yet. The round arrow reloads the list. A running sale has an End now button. It asks you first, then puts the full prices back on every marketplace. A sale that has not started yet shows Cancel instead.
1:21Name it and choose items
To make a sale, start under New sale. Give it a name, such as Autumn sale, so you can tell your sales apart. Left empty, it is called by its discount, for example twenty percent off. Then find the items. Search by title or SKU, pick a category or a marketplace, or set a lowest and highest price. Here the list is empty, and that is expected. Only items live on eBay, Etsy, Shopify or your website shop, with a price, can go in a sale, and the demo shop is not connected to any of them. With live items, each one shows a tick box, its photo, its name, where it is live, and its price. Tick each one you want, or press Tick all shown. The line beside it counts how many are ticked.
2:21How much off
Under How much off, choose Percentage, and press a figure from five to fifty percent, or type another in the box. A percentage can go up to eighty, which is eBay's limit. Or choose Amount, in pounds, to take a set sum off each item. Once you have ticked an item, a line underneath shows what its price becomes.
2:45How long it runs
For how long starts now. Choose one day, three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, or one month. Or press Choose a date, and pick the day and time it ends. A sale runs for at least one day, and at most three months.
3:05Check and start the sale
Check the sale shows you everything before anything changes: a table with each item's price now, its sale price, and where it changes. An item it cannot include says Left out, with the reason. Marketplaces with no connection say by hand, so you change those yourself. If it all looks right, press Start the sale. The marketplaces are updated straight away, and the sale appears in Your sales. The cross beside it closes the check without starting anything. The next video is Relaunch Listings, on Inventory Control, for pieces that have been on sale too long.
