Each item you sell can have its own custom dates and pricing. Here’s how to configure them from Items and Packages:
- Open item settings: Double-click any item to open its detail screen.
- Set a start date and base price: Enter when you want sales to begin and your starting price (e.g., an early bird summer rate).
- Add automatic price increases: Click the button to add a price increase, set the date and new price. You can add multiple increases — eDesign handles all changes automatically with no manual updates needed.
- Set a custom end date: By default, an item’s end date follows your global sales plan setting. If you need a specific item to end earlier, set a custom end date here.
- Collecting shipping addresses: Check the Collecting Shipping Address box for any item that needs to ship to a student’s home. This is the only place where buyers will be prompted for a shipping address at checkout. Leave it unchecked if items will be distributed at school.
- Color coding in the table: Dates shown in red indicate the date has passed and the item is no longer active. Update the date to restore it to active (green) status.
