Selling an item with a special event price

Retailers can configure a special price for a product within a set period of time. Discounts and promotions can be applied to items with special prices in a sale transaction. The following conditions apply:

• When an item is scanned during a sales or return transaction, eligibility for the event price is based on the transaction start time.
• When an item is scanned outside of a sales or return transaction, eligibility for the event price is based on scan or entry time.
  Note

  When a price inquiry is done outside of a sales transaction, the price might change when the item is added to the sale.

To configure items for special event pricing, retailers need to specify price details, start dates, and end dates in the Product Catalog using the Products API.
