Product sales are promotions that automatically put a set of products on special during a particular time period. For, example you can discount all of the products with the tag 'Christmas' by 20% on Christmas day. Product sales show up in your shop just like product specials do, showing crossed-out standard price and the sale price underneath it.
Product sales can be used to provide an incentive for your customers to buy specific stock during a limited time period.
They can also be used to put all of the products in your shop, or all the products with a specific tag, on special without having to edit each products special price individuality.
