Creating Your First Campaign

Campaign Basics

A campaign in Campaign Manager Pro consists of:

  • Discount Rules — Percentage off, fixed amount off, or custom pricing
  • Display Elements — Countdown bars, sale badges, announcement banners
  • Schedule — Start date, end date, and optional recurring patterns
  • Targeting — Which products, categories, and user roles this campaign applies to

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Create a New Campaign

  1. Go to WooCommerce > Campaign Manager
  2. Click Add New Campaign
  3. Enter a campaign name (internal only, customers don’t see this)

Step 2: Set Discount

  • Choose discount type: Percentage, Fixed Amount, or Fixed Price
  • Enter the discount value (e.g., 20 for 20% off)
  • Optionally set a maximum discount cap

Step 3: Configure Display

  • Enable/disable the announcement bar at the top of the store
  • Customize the bar text (e.g., “Flash Sale — 20% off everything!”)
  • Enable countdown timer if the campaign has an end date
  • Choose a template or customize colors

Step 4: Set Schedule

  • Set start and end dates
  • Campaign activates automatically at the start time
  • Campaign deactivates automatically at the end time

Step 5: Publish

Click Activate Campaign. The discount and display elements go live immediately (or at the scheduled start time).

Testing Your Campaign

After creating a campaign, visit your store in an incognito window to verify:

  1. Announcement bar is showing with correct text
  2. Product prices reflect the discount
  3. Countdown timer is counting down (if enabled)
  4. Original prices show as strikethrough
