Online ordering : set up an “Explicit” deal

Instructions for setting up an Explicit deal.

Here we will consider the following example: Meal for OneAny Individual 1/ 4m  Pizza + Any Side or Selected Desserts + Dip for delivery and collection.

Step 1: displaying the deal in PepperShop

  • Log in to Peppershop;
  • Create a new family of products called “Deals” or “Meal deals” ; this will then be used to display all your current deals on your online ordering site;

  • Create a product in the Deals family and name it after your deal, in this case Meal for One
  • In the description, enter the conditions of use, for example: validity day(s), products concerned by the deal, mode concerned (delivery, collection). In our example, the description is as follows: Any Individual 1/ 4m  Pizza + Any Side or Selected Desserts + Dip for delivery and collection;
  • Price:
    • If the price is fixed, enter it (this is the case in our example: the price is £15.95).
    • If the price varies, for example the price depends on the pizzas selected, don’t enter a price.
  • Image: if you like, you can insert an image for this deal by clicking on the camera icon;
  • Click Save to save your changes.

  • Click Add a deal line. Here, you must add as many lines as there are items in your deal. In our “Any Individual 1/ 4m Pizza + Any Side or Selected Desserts + Dip” deal, there are 1 Pizza + 1 side or dessert + 1 dip = 3 items

A new window opens for each line added.

First line:

This line concerns the first pizza, i.e. the one bought at the advertised price.

  • Here, select the products concerned, i.e. the products available for the first pizza. If you have a set list of pizzas, you can select them one by one via the drop-down list. Press and hold Ctrl to select more than one. If the deal concerns a sub-category of pizzas, a specific size or several sizes, you can directly use the name of the sub-category or size. In our example, “Pizzas (Individual 1/4m)” are concerned. You must thus select “Pizzas (Individual 1/4m)”.
  • Description: enter “Item 1″ or “Pizza”;
  • Price: 15.95 (this is the price of the deal you propose)
  • Free extras: 0 (unless you want to offer up to X extras, in which case you must replace the 0 by the figure X);
  • Click Save.
