Magento's Special Price feature allows setting temporary promotional prices for products. This discounted price overrides the regular price and is highlighted to customers. You can schedule it with a start and end date. The special price is applied automatically during the specified dates, boosting sales for promotions like flash sales or seasonal discounts.
Activating special prices
To enable the special price for a specific item, open the Magento Item card in Business Central and enable the 'Special Price' slider. You can enter optional start and end dates. Leaving them empty means the special price is active indefinitely.
