To increase sales and get more orders, promote your products via promotions:
- add products to one of the promotions that Ozon holds for customers;
- launch your own promotion and determine the terms, products, and conditions by yourself.
If the product participates in promotions, it will disappear from all promotions after:
- updating the current price, if the new price is lower than the stock price,
- automatically applying the market price, if the new price is lower than the stock price.
To view the list of available promotions and their terms, go to the Promotion → Promotions section and open the Available tab.
You can track your results on graphs. Analytics on completed promotions are available in your personal account in the Analytics → Promotions section.
Promotion types #
Ozon #
Ozon regularly hold promotions for customers. We define the terms and conditions for them ourselves. You just need to add your products in the Promotions → Promos section. They will be shown on promotion pages together with Ozon and other partners' products.
You can participate in such promotions for free, but the discounts will be at your expense. Types of promotions that you can join via personal account:
-
Discount. It is set in percents and depends on the Price before discount or Current price that has been in effect for the last 30 days.
-
Stock discount. The mechanics are similar to the previous one, but can be calculated from the Promotional price. A few days before the start, access to such promotion is closed, but with some sellers we can agree in advance on a list and the number of products.
Sometimes we give an additional discount on products on your behalf. In this case, we’ll cover the difference between your price and the price for the customer with Ozon points. These points will be used towards your commission fee payment in the current month.

My promotions #
You can promote products by creating your own promotions in which you determine the terms, product range, and discount size yourself.
There are several types of promotions you can create yourself:
-
With the regular discount. You can add any of your products to such a promotion and set any discount on them, but not below the minimum one. If your product participates in several promotions at the same time, it’ll be sold at the lowest of the promotional prices.
-
“Coupon” is a promo code, with which the customer can get a discount on the purchase.

Product in several promotions #
The system will calculate the total cost of the product automatically, depending on the level each promotion belongs to:
- level 1: “Discount” type;
- level 2: “Coupons” type.
One-level promotions #
If the product participates in several promotions of the following type:
-
“Discount”: it will be sold at the lowest of the promotional prices. When one of the promotions ends, the product will be sold at the price of the current promotion.
For example, the first promotion runs from April 1 to April 15, the product price is 500 rubles. The second promotion runs from April 10 to April 20, the price is 600 rubles. Then from April 1 to April 15, the product will be sold for 500 rubles, and from April 16 to April 20, the price will rise to the price of the second promotion: 600 rubles. -
“Set” and any of the level promotions: the product will be sold at a discount specified for the set.
With any combinations of level 2 promotions, except for the “Set” type, the product will be sold at the lowest of the promotional prices.
Different level promotions #
If the product participates in promotions of different levels, both discounts will apply to it. The product cost for the second promotion is calculated from the discount price at which the product is sold in the first promotion.
For example, the initial product price is 1000 rubles. It participates in a “Discount” promotion type, its price for this promotion is 900 rubles. You add this product to the “Coupons” promotion with a 10% discount. The product cost for this promotion is calculated from 900 rubles: 900 – 900 × 10% = 810. The total cost of the product is 810 rubles.
