Special Offer Text

Introduction

The following guide will take you through how to setup Special Offer Text to display on listings in both list view and product pages. These can be used to advertise voucher codes available to the product, or simply just a way to present any kind of promotion to your customer using this effective strategy which can be applied on both your product and catalogue pages. 

Configuring your feature

Open NCompass and navigate to Administration > Department Management

Select the top category known as All Departments > open the Web tab from the right hand side menu, and select Define Features in that section of the menu. 

Now follow this step carefully. If you select Create New from the middle menu buttons, populate exactly as defined in the below steps 1 through 4, 

Display Name: Special Offers Text 1

Use as filter: Unchecked

Feature Type: Dropdown

Display Priority: -1

Map To Web Attribute ID: special_offer_text_1

For marker number 5 in the below screenshot, you will notice that you can use this same feature up to 5 times, simply change the Display Name and Map To Web Attribute IDs number from 1, to 2 all the way through to 5 for each feature will allow you to stack multiple special offers.

The Available answers will be what you would like to show on the website. if you'd like to know more about feature answers, please refer to the main webpresence documentation by clicking here

Applying Special Offer text to your products

Again within NCompass, open a designated product of your choice by navigating to Products > Enquiry, search for any product and open the product info for the item.

once here, navigate to the Web tab for the item, and select configure features from the menu.

From the list of features available to you, find your special offer text features from the left hand menu, and select edit from the middle section of this window. You may either use Predefined answer, or custom value, populate the value with what you wish to display in your catalogue/product pages. You can see i've set a custom value here which allows me to write anything i'd like in this field. be sure to click save found in the bottom right of the window to set the feature.

if you'd like to know how to use predefined answer, please refer to the webpresence management guide mentioned earlier in this guide. 

These changes will now be sync to the website and you will see the special offer text now displays on the product listing, or catalogue page.
