Clearance Sales
Run collection-specific sales where different products within the same collection receive different discount values based on margin, inventory levels, or priority.
How It Works
All products in a selected collection are eligible for the promotion, but each product or variant receives its own discount value. When a customer adds an item from the collection to their cart, the corresponding discount applies automatically.
Dynamic pricing updates product prices across the storefront to reflect each item's specific discount.
Common Clearance Sales
Clear Slow-Moving Variants
Target specific sizes or colors that aren't selling with deeper discounts while keeping popular variants at lower discounts.
Example:
Camo Knit Sweater (all sizes): 60% off (hasn't moved in months)
Black T-Shirt (XS, XL): 50% off (unpopular sizes)
Black T-Shirt (M, L): 30% off (popular sizes)
Prioritize by Inventory Levels
Discount overstocked items more aggressively while protecting margin on low-stock items.
Example:
Blue Jeans (28, 30): 40% off (overstocked)
Blue Jeans (32, 34, 36): 20% off (selling normally)
