Smart Dynamic & Scheduled Discounts

The power of smart, automated discounts can transform your sales strategy from static and predictable to dynamic and engaging. The Smart Dynamic & Scheduled Discounts module gives PrestaShop merchants an advanced toolkit for managing strategic price reductions based on time, performance, and demand. Instead of manually adjusting discounts every few days, this module lets you automate price changes based on specific conditions, allowing you to run an efficient and profitable promotional strategy with minimal intervention.

1. Dynamic Discounting: How It Works

Traditional discounting methods require store owners to constantly monitor product performance, manually update pricing, and react to sales trends. With Smart Dynamic & Scheduled Discounts, you can automate the entire process. Simply configure the rules once, and the system will handle the rest, ensuring discounts are applied, refreshed, or expired exactly when needed.

2. Key Features & Discount Strategies

This module provides a wide range of automation options for discounts, including:

• Recurring Discounts: Set up sales that refresh every X days, creating continuous promotions without manual updates.
• Sales-Based Discounts: Trigger discounts based on the number of sales within a specific timeframe. For example, a discount may stay active until 100 units of a product are sold.
• Stock-Triggered Promotions: Automatically apply or remove discounts when inventory reaches a critical level.
• Time-Limited Discounts: Create discounts that expire at the end of a flash sale, seasonal event, or other campaign period.
• Scheduled Price Adjustments: Plan price changes in advance, ensuring promotions launch exactly when intended.
• Category & Brand-Specific Discounts: Apply discounts to entire categories, brands, or suppliers, ensuring bulk promotions align with your inventory strategy.

3. Automate Discounts with Custom Triggers

With the Smart Dynamic & Scheduled Discounts module, you can define specific triggers to automate pricing changes. These triggers can include:

• Time-Based Rules: Refresh a sale every 3 days, every week, or on the first day of every month.
• Sales-Based Refresh: Restart the discount once a product or category has reached a sales milestone (e.g., every 50 sales).
• Stock-Based Expiry: Automatically disable a discount when stock drops below a set threshold.
• Customer Group Targeting: Apply specific discounts for VIP customers, first-time buyers, or wholesale clients.
• Geolocation & Device-Specific Pricing: Offer region-based discounts for selected countries or specific device users.

4. Flash Sales & Urgency Marketing

One of the most effective sales tactics in e-commerce is urgency-driven promotions. With this module, you can set up:

• Countdown-Based Discounts: Display timers on product pages showing how long an offer lasts.
• Limited Stock Offers: Show “Only X items left” banners when a discount is near expiry.
• Daily Deals: Rotate featured discounts every 24 hours, keeping visitors engaged and returning.

5. Advanced Discount Configuration

Unlike standard PrestaShop discount settings, this module lets you create multiple layers of conditions, giving you full control over when and how discounts apply.

• Stackable Rules: Combine multiple discount conditions for even more refined targeting.
• Custom Discount Durations: Set specific start and end times, down to the minute.
• Priority Management: Control which discounts take precedence when multiple promotions apply to a product.

6. Performance Monitoring & Discount Logs

To ensure your pricing strategy remains effective, Smart Dynamic & Scheduled Discounts provides built-in reporting tools:

• Track which discounts generate the most sales.
• Monitor discount expiration and refresh cycles.
• Analyze conversion rates for different promotion types.

By using this data, you can optimize your discount strategy for maximum profitability.

7. Compatibility & Performance

• PrestaShop Versions: Fully compatible with PrestaShop 1.6, 1.7, and 8.0.
• Theme & Module Friendly: Works seamlessly with most themes and third-party modules.
• Lightweight Design: Optimized for performance, ensuring discount automation does not slow down store speed.

2. Segment Your Audience: Use customer groups, cart conditions, and past purchase behavior to target offers effectively.
