Promotions & markdowns

Discounts that clear the right stock at the right margin.

When a discount is the right lever, Zyntel sets the depth, the place and the timing, and holds every order above the margin floor.

Every offer has a reason, a limit and an end date.

  • Markdown recommendations

    Which SKUs to discount, by how much and when, based on sell-through, age, cover and the margin floor.

    ExampleFast fashion steps 20, 40, 60%. Premium 15, 25, 40%. Luxury usually none.

  • Ladders with rest periods

    Each step gets time to work before the next. After three attempts, the engine moves to exit routes instead of cutting deeper.

    ExampleNo endless discount spiral.

  • Event-based promotions

    Offers timed to festivals, national days, payday, wedding season, weather and sport, in the regions they affect.

    ExampleNever where there’s no stock to sell.

  • Bundles & thresholds

    Multi-buy, spend-and-save and item offers, shown on the product page before checkout.

  • Combining offers

    You decide which offers stack, which can’t, and which wins. Caps first, then the total discount limit, then the margin floor.

    ExampleNo combination goes below break-even.

  • Budget & stock caps

    Each offer stops when its budget or the stock behind it runs out, in every channel at once on the live cart.

  • Discount codes

    A public code anyone can use, single-use codes created in bulk so they can’t leak to coupon sites, group codes for a chosen audience, and one code per creator per campaign so each partner’s sales count separately.

    ExampleLimits per shopper, per day, per store, in total, and between set dates.
