The documentation says I will be able to apply a discount to an individual product in a commercial version. But does this mean I can apply it to an individual variant?

You can directly change its price via the "manage variants" area of the product edition page, even with the Starter edition.

You can directly change its price via the "manage variants" area of the product edition page, even with the Starter edition. Thanks for replying Nicolas! Just to clarify, I don't want to change the price permanently - I want to put a particular variant "on sale" for a limited period, say 1 month. I tried adding an additional price via the "manage variants" area so that the product had 2 prices: the normal price, and the "on sale" price. This produced conflicting displays (the product listing and the latest products module displayed the original price, the product detail displayed both prices, when I added it to the cart it displayed the sales price ... all too confusing.) What I want to achieve is to show the normal price with a strike-through followed by the sales price. I would like this displayed in all places where the price is displayed. So, for example, if the normal price of the paperback is $45.00 but the sale or discounted price is $30.00 so I want the system to show the [strike]$45[/strike] $30.00 . I think this can only be done with discounts, hence my question: can I apply a discount to an individual variant (e.g. the paperback and not the hardcover version of a book).

Without this ability, we may as well continue using Virtuemart where we are listing our paperbacks and hardcovers as individual products. I will come back in 12 months to see whether this feature has been added to HikaShop. (I imagine it would be useful for many people who might have an overstock of products in a particular size or colour, and so would want to put only that variant "on sale"). In the meantime, congratulations on developing such a fine product, and thanks for your support.

But...")* Hi, I just purchased the Business Edition, and I am so pleased with all the features. The documentation and forums have been very helpful. I, too, need to be able to display a single variant as discounted. I can see here that that is not possible, but I'm wondering if there's any way to "fake it" and make it appear as though it has been marked down. In the example above, if I were to change the price of the variant from $45 to $30, then can I make that line say "Paperback, originally [strike]$45[/strike] (+ $30)" Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

A column table is in the database. There is not HTML in this story. > what is the best charset when doing that ? The default one is perfect. > If hikashop is already configure for discount on only a variant item by a personn1. If there is 100 products , how person2 ll detect wich variant is configure for discount ? I don't understand what you want to say. Sorry. > If i use variant for discount, we lost the ability to define period of discount ...so Is it possible to use discount for variant with the last version of hikashop 2.1.3 in 27 june 2013 ? If you read what Nicolas said, he explain that it wasn't required to do that and explain that you can just change the price of the variant. He never said that this feature exists.
