What is Special Price?
Wondering what is the special price option and why is it not available for all platforms?
Special Price lets you set a promotional price for a listing, separate from its normal selling price. On platforms that support a promotion window, you can also choose the start and end date of the sale.
Which platforms support it
| Platform | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lazada | Yes | Full support, including the start and end date of the promotion |
| Shopee | Yes | The special price is added to a Shopee discount campaign, so a campaign has to exist first. See Creating bulk discounts in OneCart |
| Magento | Yes | Sets the special price on the product. No start/end date window |
| Qoo10 | No | Not available via the Qoo10 API |
| All others | No | Update the promotion in the platform’s seller centre instead |
Why it isn’t available everywhere
Special Price depends on the platform exposing a promotional price field through its API. Where a platform doesn’t offer one, OneCart has no way to push the promotion, and you’ll need to set it up directly in that platform’s seller centre.
For Shopee specifically, promotions are handled as campaigns rather than a per-listing price field. That’s why the Shopee flow runs through a discount campaign. See Understanding Shopee promotions in OneCart for how those fit together.
