For Black Friday, the following are the options available for promoting products that are on your Black Friday sale:
- Under the admin Update Product screen, you can check the checkbox for Black Friday and a Black Friday Sale icon will appear on the product on the website.
- You can also bulk update multiple products in one go using the Bulk Import Spreadsheet functionality to bulk set multiple products for Black Friday.
- This bulk import spreadsheet functionality is our preferred option for setting products to Black Friday as it means that you can re-upload the same spreadsheet with Black Friday turned off after the promotion to ensure that they don't appear in the Black Friday Sale next year by mistake.
- You can set up an automated dynamic category which will automatically list any product that has been marked for Black Friday.

Updating using a Bulk Import Spreadsheet

- Click here to download a sample spreadsheet
- Open the spreadsheet and add a row for each product and enter it's product code and set the BlackFriday column to TRUE - when saving it, ensure it stays as a CSV file (not an XLST file) and that you don't add any other data to any other columns or add any blank rows (or else it wont save properly as a CSV file and will show an error when imported)
- Log in as web admin
- Click Catalogue - Bulk Imports and Update Existing Products
- Click Choose File and browse to the file
- Click Upload and ensure it says that it updated the correct number of rows
