Introduction
A list of products that are considered "Specials" can be added to the store. These are products that already currently exist in the store, so they must be added through the normal
Catalog>Products section. In addition to being highlighted in the "Specials" box with the special price, this special price will also show up if a customer navigates to the product through the normal catalog tree.
Specials Listing
Figure 1 shows the
Specials listing page under the Admin>Catalog>Specials section.

To change the details click the "wrench graphic tool" under the "Action" column next to the "Title" being edited. To remove click the blue trashcan.
To add a new special to the store, click on the "Insert" link. Each product that is considered a special has several settings that describe how it will work within the store, described below.
Product
This is the product that will be on special. It must be a product that already exists in the store.
Special Price
This is the price that will be advertised and used when the customer orders the product. The "original" price that was set through the administrative tool will also be displayed with a strikethrough font, with this price displayed in red next to it.
Status
This status determines whether or not the product is displayed as a special. If the status is unchecked, the product will still be available through the store as normal, just not as a special.
Start Date/Expiry Date
These are the dates that describe when the special price and status will be in effect. For example, a store owner might wish to make a product a special for only a week, after which time it will return to normal. These dates allow the store owner to have this functionality without having to return to the administrative tool exactly one week later.
