Clearance Sale

When to use this

Use this template when you want to automatically discount items tagged for clearance – typically end-of-season stock or old inventory you're trying to move. Customers don't need to enter a coupon; the discount applies as soon as a clearance-tagged item is in their cart.

How it works

This is an Item Group promotion that uses the cart's product tags to decide which items get discounted. Three pieces of the configuration do the actual work:

• Item Group conditions – the promotion matches any product whose Tags attribute contains your clearance tag (e.g. clearance). With Quantity set to 1, each matching item forms its own item group, so every clearance item in the cart gets the discount independently.
• Percentage action – once an item group has formed, a flat 30% discount is applied. The Batch Limit is 0, so the promotion applies to as many qualifying items as the customer adds.
• Lock Affected Items: Yes – items that receive this discount are locked out of subsequent promotions, preventing a clearance item from being stacked with other discounts later.

No trigger conditions are needed – eligibility is purely item-level. For the underlying concepts see Trigger Conditions, Item Groups, and Promotion Action in Creating a Promotion.

For the Shopify integration, the Tags attribute maps directly to the platform's native tags, so any tag you set in Shopify Admin is immediately available here. WooCommerce support is coming soon and will work similarly.

Step-by-step setup

1. From your Deducto Dashboard, open the promotions list for your project and click New.
2. Choose Item Group as the promotion type.
3. On the General Information tab, set the name, schedule, and behaviour. The full set of values is in the field reference below.
4. On the Trigger Conditions tab, leave the conditions empty.
5. On the Item Groups tab, configure the default group:
   • Name it Clearance Item.
   • Set Quantity to 1.
   • Add one condition: select Tags as the attribute, choose is one of, then either use the Entity Searcher (if you have a search integration set up) to pick products, or use Bulk Add to enter the tag name directly (e.g. clearance).
6. On the Action tab, choose Apply A Percentage Discount to Item Group(s), set Percent to 30, and check the Clearance Item group under Target Item Groups. Leave all the limits at 0.
7. Click Save.

Variations

• Different discount amount. Adjust Percent on the Action tab.
• Fixed amount instead of percentage. Switch the action to Apply A Fixed Amount Discount to Item Group(s) and set the amount.
• Cap how many items get discounted per cart. Set Batch Limit to a non-zero number on the Action tab.
• Cap the total discount amount per cart. Set Maximum Discount Amount on the Action tab.
• Different tag. Change the value entered in the item group's Tags condition (e.g. end-of-season, final-sale).
• Stackable with other promotions. Set Lock Affected Items to No so clearance items can also receive discounts from other promotions.

Testing

1. Add a clearance-tagged item to your cart and confirm the 30% discount appears.
2. Add multiple clearance items and confirm each receives the discount.
3. Add a non-clearance item alongside and confirm it does not receive the discount.
