Special Price ?
Hello,
i am trying to use price rules to create specials , however there seem to be a bug .
After i am done , the price appears in the website as following :
i have an item which i am selling for $53.99 . when i made a price rule for it to have it for 48.99 , the result ::
Price : $48.99
Special Offer: $48.99 ends 22/8/2007
This may look confusing . How would the customer know there is really a special offer on the product ??
it should look :
Price : $53.99
Special Offer : $48.99 ends 22/8/2007
Any idea how to fix this ?
thanks

Re: Special Price ?
Hi there,
I went ahead and reported this as a display issue. My suggestion in the bug report was to simply show:
Price : $53.99 This special price ends on 8/22/2008
(The value for "Price" must be what is used for basket calculations. The other fields are for display purposes.)
If you want to show the regular/original price, then enter a value in the Retail field for the product. You could do this now as a work-around.
If you have a better suggestion, please let me know.
Thanks,
Katie

Re: Special Price ?
Katie , thanks for your answer
i think it would be better to display the current price and the special price . customers usually do not know the price of each item , and they won't know how much they are saving from the special if there is no current price ..
the problem with using the work-around you mentioned is that i dont want to lower the price and then change it back again .. it is better as a special since it can expire
Thanks

Re: Special Price ?
This seems like a valid argument. I will update the bug report and see if it will be possible.
Thanks for your feedback!

Re: Special Price ?
Any news/progress on this ?
Re: Special Price ?
The developers worked on it this morning, but it still needs to go through a review and testing process.
I will let you know when a patch is available.
Thanks,
Katie
