List while sale is going on

Hello, I've looked but cant find the answer. Can I list while I have a sale going on with my store? Will my listing automatically be on the sale, or will I have to creat new store sales when I finish listing? Thank you!

List while sale is going on

I believe there is a setting when you create a store sale where you can check a box that says add new listings in this category or categories. I am pretty sure. I haven't ran a sale in awhile, but I think the last time I did one it did have an option to add new listings as they are created. Otherwise, you can go in and edit sale and add your new listings by category, it will only show the items that are not on sale already and you can check one box and it will check them all and add them. I am almost positive. If anyone else knows better, feel free to jump in since I don't run sales often lately. I was running them frequently, but it doesn't seem to matter whether I run a sale or not. IF people are not buying at all or don't want the items I have up, a sale won't make a difference.

No problem, just go to the edit section of the sale, and click on the the categories you listed new items in and I am sure there is a button that says add new items as they are listed to this sale.

Everything you said is still correct if you are talking about a markdown sale (like 10% off everything), and not an order discount (like buy 2 get 1 free). They behave a bit differently.

 

Also to be clear (since you didn't state it for the OP) that new listings will not automatically be added to a sale. Just know that it's really buggy. When you add a listing to an existing sale, it will most definitely not apply the markdown immediately. It can take awhile for the change to apply itself. The maximum time it can take is anyone's guess. Because sometimes it just will fail to apply at all and glitch out. But I'd guess that after 24 hrs if the listing doesn't apply the markdown, it probably never will. When that happens you'll have to create a duplicate markdown sale and add just that one listing to it. Yes, markdowns are super buggy.

Thank you for the information. I don't do mark downs often and it has been awhile for sure. I just remember there being a button or something you click and it said something to the effect that by clicking that it would add any new listings as they are added to your campaign or sale. I did notice that some did get added and some I had to do manually. I would wait a day or two for it to update and if it didn't I would just go in and edit the sale or campaign manually. I would add the new listings I wanted to add. Your are right, it is definitely buggy and doesn't always work like its suppose too. I was hoping someone else would come by and maybe have more info. Thank you, now I know that for sure as well next time I decide to do a sale. Was trying to help OP best I could from my experience. Thanks again. Things are constantly changing, also it seems a lot of their functions are buggy and don't work as intended. It is quite annoying and time consuming.
