These are rules that you use to discard rules that should not apply to specific products. Any other rules that were set in the Manual Override Actions will not be taken into account with products included here
You can check this video to know more about the Discard Products option and how to select products that will not be affected by the automatic price changes, in other words, those that will not be influenced by the above Dynamic Pricing rules:
Imagine that you are a sporting goods seller and you previously set a rule stating that you want to be equal to the cheapest competitor in all products of the brand Nike, but you do not want that to happen in the category of ‘men running shoes’ of the Nike brand. Then you’d be entering this rule right here in the discard products step, and all products Nike (except for those within the category of ‘men running shoes’) would be set at the same price as the competitor with the lowest price.
Let’s move on to the steps you need to follow when creating a Discard Action:
- Click on the ‘Add discard action’ button you’ll find at the right.
-
New action: Add an Action name/Title that is representative of the action itself and indicate whether it will be active or not by clicking on ON/OFF.
-
Schedule: Choose at which date and hour you want to apply this Discard Action, you can specify if you want to set it up One Time or Continuously.
- One Time: The Discard Action will be active from a specific date and hour to another. It will only apply during this time.
- Continuously: The Discard Action will be active with no end date at specific dates and between certain time slots. Also, you can activate it during the specific time range that you select according to your needs, modifying both dates and time slots.
You can choose in both cases if the action will be active or inactive.
-
Products Selection: Specify which criteria will this action take into account. You can select filters based on brand, category or tags (you can use them all or just some or only one of them). Or you can also create an action around a product list. The system will allow you to find the products you’d like to add to the list by title, references and other attributes available.
- Finally, you just need to save the action by clicking the Save button at the right bottom of the screen.
