Ozon regularly holds promotions you can use to promote your products. During big Ozon sales, we launch thematic campaigns and advertise your products that participate in promotions.
Current and future sales #
“Sweet Home” from April 17 to April 30 #

- “SUPERhits”: participating products have an average discount. They are shown higher in search results than products from the “Hits” promotion.

Discount amount #
The discount amount depends on the product category, promotion mechanics, and prices for similar products on other marketplaces. We calculate the discount based on the median product price in the last 30 days.
For example, if the median price of a product is 900 rubles, we’ll ask you to offer a discount on this price.
To participate in promotions, set a minimum discount of:
- 5% for products with a regular price up to 10,000 rubles,
- 500 rubles for products more expensive than 10,000 rubles.
Product price shouldn’t be higher than the competitors' on other marketplaces. Ozon discounts and seller coupons aren’t taken into account.
If the price doesn’t meet these conditions, the product will be highlighted in red. We’ll ask you to change its price, otherwise Ozon may exclude your products from promotions.

Products that can participate in promotions #
You can participate in promotions with any products except for alcohol, electronic cigarettes, and smoking supplies.
To participate in the promotions, your products must meet at least two of the following requirements:
- less than 10% of complaints about the product;
- less than 10% of refunds, unpurchased products, and unclaimed orders;
- the average product rating not less than 3.
If you add into promotion the products that are uploaded less than 60 days ago, we don’t take into account complaints about them, their reviews, and average rating.
Add products to promotions #
You can add or remove products from promotions and change the discount amount at any time until the promotion ends.
Boosting promotional products #
In the app and on the Ozon website, we’ll:
- Create a separate page for each sale.
- Put a sticker on the PDP about participation in the sale and a promotional price.
- Show the stocks counter on the PDPs on promotion days.
- Add a filter by promotional products to the website search.
- Raise the products in search results and catalog.
- Launch TV commercials and ads on radio and on social media, place outdoor advertising in large cities, and send notifications to customers.
You can boost the promotion of your products using special tools. For example, raise products above other participants of the promotion: in the Promotion → Promotions section click Boost your promotions.
Products that don’t participate in the promotions will drop in search results and catalog. It’ll be more difficult for customers to find them.
Track the participation effect #
You can track the participation effect in your personal account in the Analytics section:
- by promotions: their schedule is compatible with the sales schedule, so that it’s more convenient to track the participation effect;
- by the sales schedule: it most clearly shows how sales are growing at the moment.
FAQ #
If the products have recently participated in other promotions, how to calculate the minimum discount for this one? #
Ozon calculates the discount based on the median product price for the last 30 days. Seller coupons aren’t taken into account.
Why is the discount in my personal account so big? #
In your personal account, we show the discount that the customer sees. It may differ from the actual discount.
Example
Your product costs 1,000 rubles. You always sell it at a custom 10% discount, for 900 rubles. This is the regular product price, based on which Ozon will calculate a sale discount.
During the sale, you reduce the cost of the product to 765 rubles: that’s 15% off the regular price (900 rubles) and 23.5% off the original price (1,000 rubles).
The customer sees the final discount from the original price: 23.5%. It’s also displayed in your personal account.
How do I find out the actual discount amount for a product? #
Divide the promotional product price by the regular one, subtract the resulting fraction by one, and multiply the result by 100. The resulting number is the actual product discount as a percentage.
