10. Click the Special tab Click the green + button to add a new special that applies only to the product you are adding or editing. Enter the special info (start date, end date, price, etc) repeat for any number specials on the item.

The difference between Discounts and Specials:

The discount is a sale on product’s price when somebody is ordering more pieces of the same product. In other words, the price for one piece may be $10, but using the discount You can set that after buying 5 pieces one piece will cost $8, after buying 10 pcs one will cost $6 etc. This information is then displayed only on product’s detail page.

The special is a normal product’s price sale, e.g. normally the price is $150 but using the special you can set the price to be $120 which will be shown in all product listings as “old-price – new-price”.

NOTE: If the special is set for the product, it has higher priority than the discount. The reason is because discounts are considered to be set for longer periods of time while specials for shorter ones (special events, discount week, black friday, etc.). In this case when a product has both discount and special set, the special is used.

11. If you have additional photos of your product click the image Tab. You can add as many additional photos as needed. *Remember the main product photo is added under the Data tab*

12. If your store uses a rewards/point system click the Rewards tab. In the points box enter the number of points needed to buy this item. In the next box enter number of points a customer would earn by buying this item.

If you are adding many items that are similar and you only need to make a couple of small changes to the product info using the Copy feature can really speed things up.
