Offers: packaging what you sell

Before you start, open this page: Sales / Offers.

Can’t find one? It may be turned off for your business, or your account may not be allowed to open it. Ask the person who set up your FeePrime. They can fix both.

An offer is a package. A set of products presented together, usually for a limited time, often at a price you would not give those products on their own.

A back-to-school bundle. A season menu. A starter kit.

What an offer holds

A name and a description.
An SKU, which is generated for you.
Photos.
Products, the things inside the package.
A discount percentage off the whole offer.
A start date and an end date, the window it runs in.
Show on homepage, which puts it on your front page.
Allow customisation, which lets the customer change what they take instead of taking the package as it is.

Those dates matter. They are what stops last year’s promotion still sitting on your website in March.

Groups inside an offer

A simple offer is just a list of products.

A bigger one can sort its products into offer categories. These are sections you create inside the offer itself, each with a name in each language.

This matters for anything with structure. A school list is not thirty loose items. It is Books, Uniform, Stationery.

These groups belong to that one offer. They are not part of your main product groups. So you can organise an offer the way a customer reads it, without inventing shop groups that make no sense anywhere else.

Each group can have its own money rules

This is the part worth reading twice.

Each group inside an offer can carry its own rules:

A discount that applies to everything in that group.
Whether those lines earn commission.
Who earns it, and what percentage.

   OFFER: Back to school
     Books        10% off    commission: 5% to the school
     Uniform       0% off    commission: 5% to the school
     Stationery   15% off    no commission

One package, three different arrangements inside it.

That is very hard to express as a single discount on a bundle. It is also exactly how school lists, supplier catalogues and partner packages really work.

If you set nobody on a group, it falls back to whatever the order itself says. So you only have to fill in what is genuinely different.

Order forms

An offer can point at an order form template. That attaches a set of questions to the order. A pupil’s name and class. A delivery preference. A size.

The answers travel with the order and show up on the printed document, so your warehouse and your customer are looking at the same thing.

The next lesson covers building those forms.

Try it

On staging.feeprime.com, build an offer with two groups that have different discounts, then look at it on your public page. Seeing different prices inside one package is the fastest way to understand why this exists.
