When should I use Accepted date vs. Specific month for the start date? Or can I use a specific date in the month as the start or end date for the private offer?
6262
answer: |

While creating a new private offer, select “Accepted date” as the start date to make the price available for the customer to transact as soon as the private offer is accepted. If you want a private price to be available to the customer immediately on acceptance, choose “Accepted date”.

Choose specific month to make the private price available in a future calendar month. Example: If you create a private offer on May 15th and want the private price to be available to the customer on June 1st, select June. The private offer will start on the first day of the month and end on the last day. You can't select specific start and end dates. If a customer purchases the public offer/plan prior to June 1st, they will not receive the private offer price for any transactions before June 1st.

You can use a discounted price to provide a percentage-based discount on top of a publicly listed plan. This can only be used when the private price is lower than the publicly listed plan price. The percentage-based discount can be given at an offer level so it applies to all plans within the offer, or only for a specific plan. The absolute price can be used to specify a price point higher, lower or equal to the publicly listed plan price, and can be only be applied at a plan level. Absolute price cannot be applied for Virtual Machine offer types.
