# PrestaShop promotions: campaigns and promo codes

**A promotion launched in 2 minutes, removed in one click.** You check the products in the catalog, set the discount and the dates, read the preview, then send: each product gets its PrestaShop specific price, filed under the campaign label. A −20% discount takes about 2 minutes, versus 30 minutes product by product in the back office (estimate on a test shop with 5,000 SKUs).

## Launch a campaign on your selection

From the catalog: right-click › Bulk edit › Specific price campaign.

| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Discount | In % or as an amount including tax |
| Period | Start and end date (start at 00:00, end at 23:59); with no date, the promotion has no limit |
| Scope | All customers or one group, all countries or one country, from a minimum quantity |
| Price rounding | Exact discount, to the cent, to x.90 or to x.99 |
| Safeguard | "Never go below cost price", checked by default |

The preview shows, product by product, the struck-through price, the sale price and the margin during the promotion, with four counters: specific prices created, capped at cost price, overlapping another promotion, not sent. Above 1,000 prices, you type their number to confirm.

## Spot overlapping promotions

Before sending, every product on which another promotion is already running during the period is flagged: "Another promotion is already running on this product during this period." You remove the product or keep both, knowingly.

## Manage your running campaigns

- List of campaigns with their status, their number of prices and a campaign calendar.
- **Add products** to a running campaign: they take its dates and scope.
- **Change the dates** to extend it: each price takes the new period; a price changed in PrestaShop in the meantime is flagged and left as is.
- **Duplicate**: same products, same discounts, under a new label and over a new period.
- **Delete the campaign**: its specific prices are removed from the shop, the others are not touched. Can be undone from the log.

## Clean up your promo codes

- List of promo codes (cart rules) with search by code or name, validity, discount and remaining uses.
- For each code: the orders that used it and the carts where it was entered, abandoned ones included. You copy the emails or export the list as CSV.
- **Delete expired unused codes**: validity over and no order. Each code is checked again before deletion; the operation cannot be undone, so export the list first to keep a record.

## With the assistant

You ask, it prepares, you approve:

- "Which in-stock products haven't sold in 90 days?": it prepares the list, you launch the campaign from Reports › Slow movers.
- "What margin do I have left on the products in the Sweaters category?": it reads prices and cost prices and shows you the table.
- "Lower the price by 5% on products under 20% margin": it files a price proposal, which you open in the preview before applying it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a promotion sell a product at a loss?
Not if you leave "Never go below cost price" checked: the sale price is then capped at the cost price, and the preview counts the products concerned.

### How do you stop a promotion before its end date?
Delete the campaign: all its specific prices are removed from the shop in one operation, without touching the other promotions. You can also shorten it by changing its dates.

### Can you target a customer group or a country?
Yes. Each campaign targets all customers or one group, all countries or one country, and can start from a minimum quantity bought. To build the group, see [customer levels](/fonctionnalites/clients-prestashop.md).

### What happens to deleted promo codes?
They are erased from the shop; only expired codes never used in an order are concerned. Export the list as CSV first if you want to keep a record.
