Flash Sales

Flash Sales apply a percentage discount to selected products for a limited time. They're simple by design, offering one discount type with no complex conditions, which makes them ideal for time-boxed campaigns that create urgency, like a weekend deal for VIPs.

Use Flash Sales when you need a fast, temporary % discount on a specific set of products. Do you have a more complex campaign set up in mind? Check out Automatic Discounts and Advanced Automatic Discounts.

Example: Offer 20% off selected products for VIP customers over the weekend.
