At Envato we’re dedicated to giving you access to tools and resources that help you sell better. To help with this, we’re excited to launch a new discounting tool to help you take control of your sales, and engage more strategically with your customers!
We know many authors already run sales for your customers, and the new manage discount tool aims to make that process much easier by:
Allowing you to schedule a discount in advance
Displaying every item discounted through the tool with sale pricing throughout the customer journey (see example image below)
Allowing customers to search and filter for items currently discounted using the tool
Thanks, I’m very excited about this feature but one thing: the items under review are set to the introductory price & now in their case I can’t use this discount tool because when they will be live if I modify the price to the normal one I’ll break the rules. So I have to wait a month until I can do anything with them and this is a little bit frustrating.
I know you guys have a load of work nowadays and your entire system is very difficult but please try to communicate better with authors. For us, it would be so great to known about things like this earlier, before the implementation and not after.
There is no end date of discount shown to clients. We need to insert gif or images ourselves.
There is no ability to offer discount for Extended License.
And most important. I want an option to offer discount by special link. So if customer go through the link he will get discount, and others don’t. It will help us to count sales from marketing campaigns. Because right now there is no any tool that can properly count sales from ads (Google Analytics don’t work correctly). It’s very important feature. By knowing exactly how much we earn from campaign, we finally can count our income and expense without any “guessing”.
@steve_lam Great move. It will certainly help getting more sale. One request I would like to do is, Allow us to generate discount code too. As sometimes if authors run campaign they may only want to give discount who have discount code or coupon code.
Thanks @VikramVerma, when we say “Displaying every item discounted through the tool with sale pricing throughout the customer journey” we’re referring to the sale pricing display which is included wherever the item is normally displayed (category pages, search results etc), on the item card, the item page and in a customer’s cart and checkout flow.
An indicator for discount length on the item page. It can even be as simple as the notification badge we see as authors when signed in. And this can be an optional feature for authors to turn on/off.
Dear team,
Here you’ve written everything which can be helpful to authors. How affiliates can be beneficial with your new price discount tool? I’ve checked API page, there is no api from which we can pull results for new discounted items and the schedule of discounted items. If you can release the API it will be good for affiliate also. #authoring-on-envato:affiliates
