Create discount promotion

Discount promotions are a convenient marketing tool for attracting attention to items and increasing sales.

You can apply a discount to any number of items, and any number of discounts can be applied to a single item. The system automatically calculates both the discounted and original prices, ensuring accurate display of information in the store.

Display discounted items in store

If you sell items through your own interface, you can retrieve item pricing information, including discounted prices, by calling client API methods to get an item catalog (calls from the Common > Catalog, Virtual Items and Currency > Catalog, and Bundles > Catalog subsections).

If your site is created using Xsolla site builder, a timer appears on an item’s card 30 days before the end of the promotion to show the remaining time:

• If the end of the promotion is in more than a week, the timer shows days and hours.
• If the end of the promotion is in more than one day, the timer shows hours and minutes.
• If the end of the promotion is in less than a day, the timer shows minutes and seconds.

To change the color of the timer and discount amount:

4. Select a new color in the Secondary field.

5. To apply changes, publish the website:

1. In the upper-right corner of the site builder, click Publish.
2. Check the boxes next to the pages you want to publish.
