Putting the entire shop on sale

[johnmoore84]

Hi everyone, first of all how great is prestashop. Anyway my question is, is there a way of putting my entire shop in a sale over bankholiday weekend.

What I want to do is over the weekend give everbody 15% off on everything. Is there a way to set the shop to knock off 15% off everything.

Thanks in advance.

yes there is a way but it does effect p&p;as well.

change the currency conversion rate from 1.00 to 0.85, and then back to to 1.00 when the sale is over, the price changes wont show up in the catalog but will appear 15% lower in the cart/checkout

Hi, thank for that unfortunatly I dont seem to be able to get it to work. I changed the currency to 0.85 in £ and then updated it but nothing happens on the front end. The price stays the same all through checkout. Anyone no where im going wrong.

is it the only currency you are using, can I have your website url please??

The best thing to do it to create a 15% coupon, and advertise about it on your site, it makes the customer feel like they really are getting a good 1 time deal.

Yes, but some customers don't see it!

OK, then the other option is to set a discount to all the products for a given date range, you'll have to run this on the database (using phpmyadmin or something similar), keep in mind that it will overwrite any existing product discounts you may have.

UPDATE `ps_product` SET reduction_percent = 15 , reduction_from = '2010-08-27', reduction_to = '2010-08-27'

Wouldn't it be easier just to go to Customers > Groups, edit the "Default" group, then give them a 15% discount? That would give all customers a 15% discount off all prices in the store.

Much

I wasn't sure how that would behave if a product already has a reduction.

I tried this before and the discount did not expire on the specified date - any idea why? I need to set up another site-wide discount.

if the start and end dates are the same, the coupon does not expire.
