Are you thinking about running a promotion or clearance sale for your online store in Magento 2? One of the essential features to set up is special prices. Special prices allow you to offer discounts without changing the product’s regular price.
In this article, we will go over the steps required to set up special prices in Magento 2.

Step 1: Create A New Product
To offer a special price, you need to create a new product or select an existing one. Go to the Magento 2 Admin Panel and navigate to Catalog > Products > Add Product or select an existing product.
Step 2: Set The Product’s Regular Price
Once you have selected the product, scroll down to the "Price" section in the product details page. Set the regular price for your product in the "Price" field and click on "Save" to save the changes.
Step 3: Configure The Special Price
After saving the product with its regular price, scroll down again to the "Price" section. You will find a "Special Price" field. Enter the price you want to offer as a discount in this field.
Next, specify the date range when the special price applies. You can set the start and end dates by clicking on the calendar icon next to the "Special Price From Date" and "Special Price To Date" fields.
If you want to limit the number of products available at the special price, set the "Quantity" field to the number of products you want to offer at the discounted price.
Finally, click on "Save" to save the special price changes.
Step 4: Verifying The Special Price
Once you have saved the special price changes for the product, you can verify that it is working correctly. Open the product page on the storefront and check that the discount is displaying correctly.
If you have set a date range for the special price, make sure that the discount appears only during that time. Once the special price period has ended, the price should return to the regular price.
Step 5: Creating A Catalog Price Rule
If you want to offer discounts to a group of products based on a set of conditions, you can create a catalog price rule.
To create a catalog price rule, navigate to Marketing > Promotions > Catalog Price Rule > Add New Rule.
You can specify the rule’s conditions, such as a particular product or category, customer group, date range, or other attributes. After configuring the conditions, set the discount amount in the "Actions" section. You can set a percentage, fixed amount, or buy X get Y discount.
Once you have saved the catalog price rule, the discounts should be applied to the products that meet the conditions.
Conclusion
Setting up special prices in Magento 2 is a straightforward process that can help you promote your products and increase sales. It is also an excellent tool for running promotions and clearance sales.
By following the steps outlined in this article, you should be able to set up special prices and catalog price rules seamlessly and efficiently. Remember to verify that the special prices are working correctly on the storefront before launching the promotion or clearance sale.
