What is the Sale Quantity Field Used For?
[Top] This Sale Quantity is a useful feature, and allows the seller to control how many pieces are sold at a reduced rate. Having a set amount to be sold at a reduced rate–especially if it’s a deeply discounted rate–can help create a buzz for a product. To limit the quantity of an item sold at a discounted rate, set the quantity you want sold at that rate in the ‘Sale Qty’ field. Once the sale quantity limit of that product has been reached, the sale will ‘end’ and the price will automatically go back to the regular (list) price. If you are placing an item on sale and DO NOT wish to limit the sale quantity (ie: everyone can purchase it at the sale price during the sale dates), then please leave the Sale Quantity field blank. Limiting a sale quantity can be a great marketing tool for new releases. Build the hype that the first ‘X’ number of people can get the product at a discount. This may help to increase traffic and sales of your new release as well as for the rest of your catalog.
