How to set a floor price during a markdown on Shopify?

Created on

A common practice for avoiding deadstocks is by running a Lifecycle Markdown. Konigle helps you to set up an automated lifecycle markdown sequence and measure the impact of such activity. Here is how to do it:

1. From your Konigle dashboard, go to the 'Prevent Dead Stock’ tool from the search bar.

3. Configure markdown discount rules.

- For each rule you have to specify the percentage discount offered compared to the current selling price, duration of discount.

- You can also specify the minimum stock level in order to offer the discount. This is useful if you don’t want to offer higher discounts if the sale takes off after offering the first phase of discounts.

4. Set a price floor by defining a minimum profit margin.
