Differences between Flash Sale and Price edit task
Hello store owners,
As many of you are confused about which task to choose to achieve your goal, this article will help point out the differences between Flash Sale and Price edit task to clear your confusion.
What is each task for?
In general, the Flash sale task and Price edit task are created to serve different purposes. Knowing your purposes would be a good start in deciding which task to create.
- Flash sale task: To run a sale campaign for your store. This task will help you make discounted prices and add compare-at-price to your products, which means you can only decrease the prices.
- Price edit task: To purely edit your product prices. This task will only affect your price or compare-at-price field based on your settings and doesn't show your product as on sale. With the Price edit task, you can either increase, decrease, or set a brand-new price for your product.
Price display on storefront
On storefront, with Flash sale task, for most of the themes, your products will get an extra sale badge attached to the product. At the same time, both the original price and sale price will be shown. For the original price, it will have a strike-through so your customers can be aware that the product is on sale, triggering them to grab the deal. Please refer to the image below:
With the Price edit task, your product display will remain the same, only the price will change according to the price edit rule you set.
Countdown timer
For the Flash Sale task, you can display a countdown timer on the product page to trigger FOMO with a limited-time offer and encourage customers to buy.
The countdown timer is not available if you choose the Price edit task.
