Specific Products Mode

3 min read

The “Specific Products” selection mode lets you hand-pick exactly which products receive your discount. This gives you precise control over your promotions.

When to Use Specific Products #

This mode is ideal for:

  • Targeted promotions – Discount specific items you want to push
  • Overstock clearance – Select items you need to move
  • Featured product deals – Highlight chosen products
  • Bundle promotions – Discount products that go well together
  • Test campaigns – Try discounts on a few products first

How to Select Products #

Using the Search Box #

  1. Click in the product search field
  2. Type to search by:
    • Product name
    • SKU
    • Product ID
  3. Results appear as you type
  4. Click a product to add it to your selection

Search Results Display #

Each search result shows:

  • Product thumbnail image
  • Product name
  • SKU (if available)
  • Current price
  • Stock status

Managing Your Selection #

Action How To
Add product Click product in search results
Remove product Click the X on the selected product tag
Clear all Click “Clear Selection” button
View count Check counter at bottom of selection area

Selection Display #

Selected products appear as tags/chips below the search box:

  • Product name displayed
  • X button to remove
  • Total count shown (e.g., “12 products selected”)

Category Pre-Filtering #

You can narrow your search by selecting categories first:

  1. In the Categories card, select one or more categories
  2. Switch to “Specific Products” mode
  3. Search now only shows products from selected categories

This is helpful when you have thousands of products and want to focus on a specific category.

Handling Variable Products #

When you select a variable product (like a t-shirt with sizes):

  • The parent product is selected
  • All variations inherit the discount
  • You cannot select individual variations separately

Example: Select “Classic T-Shirt” and all sizes (S, M, L, XL) receive the discount.

Product Availability #

Products displayed in search must be:

  • Published (not draft or private)
  • Simple or variable product type
  • Not external/affiliate products

Out of stock products can be searched and selected but may show a warning.

Selection Limits #

There are practical limits to consider:

Limit Value Notes
Minimum 1 product Must select at least one
Recommended max 100 products For optimal performance
Technical max 500 products Beyond this, consider “All Products” with conditions

For campaigns affecting more than 100 products, consider using “All Products” with category filters or “Smart Selection” (Pro) for better performance.

Search Tips #

By Product Name #

Type part of the product name. The search is partial-match, so “blue shirt” finds “Ocean Blue Shirt” and “Blue Striped Shirt”.

By SKU #

Type the exact SKU or a portion of it. SKU search is case-insensitive.

By Product ID #

Type the numeric product ID directly (e.g., “1234”).

Example Use Cases #

Featured Products Deal #

Setting Value
Selection Specific Products
Products 5 hand-picked featured items
Discount 15% off

Slow-Moving Inventory #

Setting Value
Selection Specific Products
Products Items with excess stock
Discount 40% off

Complementary Bundle #

Setting Value
Selection Specific Products
Products Camera, Lens, Tripod, Bag
Discount $50 off (fixed)

What Happens When Products Change #

Change Campaign Behavior
Product deleted Removed from campaign automatically
Product set to draft Excluded from discount until published
Product price changed New price used, health score may flag this
Product goes out of stock Health score warning, discount still configured

Best Practices #

  1. Keep Selections Manageable: Under 50 products is ideal for easy management
  2. Review Stock Levels: Check that selected products are in stock
  3. Use Categories First: Pre-filter by category before searching
  4. Document Your Selection: Use campaign description to note why products were chosen
  5. Monitor for Changes: Deleted or modified products affect your campaign
