Product Markdown upon Resale from Warehouse

Table of Contents

If minor defects and damage are detected on the product upon acceptance at the warehouse, we’ll create a markdown product variant. It can be sold on Ozon at a discount.

Minor defects include damage that does not affect the service life. For example, a crumpled package or slight scratches.

For the markdown product, a separate PDP, based on the regular one, will be created. The stock will be equal to one.

Markdown mechanics upon resale from warehouse

Markdown variants are created only for those products that are already at the warehouse.

If minor defects are detected on the product upon acceptance, we will:

  • Make a markdown decision.
  • Fill out the PDP of the markdown product specifying its condition and the reasons for the markdown, add photos of defects.
  • Set the recommended discount on the product depending on its category and condition. You can change the discount.

Customers will see the regular and markdown product variants on the same PDP. First comes a photo of the regular product, followed by images of defects.

Discount on markdown product

The discount on markdown variants applies to the price of the regular products. If the product price increases or decreases, the discount will change accordingly.

Example

A fitness bracelet costs 2,000 rubles during the special offer. A 10% discount is applied to its markdown variant. The price of the markdown bracelet is 1,800 rubles. When the special offer ends, the bracelet price will increase to 2,200 rubles, and its markdown variant will become 1,980 rubles.

The recommended discount amount depends on the product category and condition.

The discount is provided by the seller. You can increase or decrease the discount by 25% of its current value as many times as you like.
