2. Configure Date Picker Language String
Configure the copy that appears above the date picker on the Cloud UI Pricing Calendar.
Language String | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
productpricingcalendar.dateprompt | Title above the date picker on the Pricing Calendar | Choose your start date |
3. Configure Inventory Scarcity Display
To configure the way your calendar offers low inventory indication, update the following settings:
Setting | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
calendarsettings.enableadvancedcalendar | Turns on the Advanced Pricing Calendar. This setting displays the legend which the user can reference to interpret color-coding on the calendar. | If TRUE, then the legend for low inventory and sold out will show on all pricing calendars. In a future release calendar template configuration can turn this legend on and off per product. If FALSE, then the legend for low inventory and sold out won't show. So if you don't use low inventory indication on the pricing calendar at all, this legend will never show. |
calendarsettings.useposinventory | If true, color shading of calendar is based on inventory. This is required for the Cloud UI Calendar if calendarsettings.enabledadvancedcalendar is set to true. | Must be TRUE if calendarsettings.enabledadvancedcalendar is set to true for Cloud UI. |
calendarsettings.lowinventorybackgroundcolor | Color used to shade calendar on low inventory dates. | Recommended #F6D241 (yellow) |
calendarsettings.soldoutstatustext | Legend text for sold out dates | Text EX: UNAVAILABLE |
4. Configure Pricing Scarcity Display (Optional)
To configure the manner in which the Cloud UI calendar displays pricing scarcity, follow the instructions below. We recommend enabling this feature when you are using a tiered pricing strategy.
Settings
If you would like to enable the price scarcity legend (e.g. SALE PRICE in above screenshot) on the calendar, please reach out to your Aspenware Service Agent (support@aspenware.com) to enable the feature.
To configure the way your calendar offers pricing scarcity indication, update the following settings:
Setting | Description |
|
---|---|---|
awcloud.pricescarcity.isenabled | If true, prices will be colored green that trigger the pricing threshold defined in this store wide setting (calendarsettings.pricingcountmessagethreshold) and a key will show that displays the text defined in the language string 'productpricingcalendar.salestatustext' | True/False |
calendarsettings.pricingcountmessagethreshold | For dynamically priced products utilizing the large calendar view, if the number of products left at the current pricing tier is less than this setting number, then dates that are below the threshold will be colored green on the pricing calendar page. (will not be colored on the PDP calendar) | Integer (number at which pricing tier indication is triggered) |
Language Strings
Configure the following language string to customize what text will display on the legend for price scarcity.
Language String | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
productpricingcalendar.salestatustext | Legend text that will appear on the pricing calendar if price scarcity legend is enabled | Text EX: GREAT VALUE |
Price Scarcity Text Color
As mentioned above, you may customize the color of the text for prices that are triggered by the calendarsettings.pricingcountmessagethreshold. We recommend #28763A (green) for ADA compliance and based on A/B test results of green vs red. Contact your Aspenware Service Agent (support@aspenware.com) to customize this color.
