Double 11 shopping allowance
During the Double 11 period in 2018, the initial full reduction threshold for merchants is only one level - 50 yuan off for every 400 yuan spent. Merchants participating in Tmall Double 11 need to choose this offer as the condition for realizing store discounts during Double 11.
Last year, there were three initial thresholds for the "Double 11 Shopping Allowance" that merchants could choose for the initial full reduction, namely, 50 yuan off for every 400 yuan spent, 30 yuan off for every 600 yuan spent, and 20 yuan off for every 700 yuan spent.
During the Double 11 event in 2017, many consumers also said that the promotional rules were too complicated and a little "dazzled".
The rules state that when a user pays a single order/multiple orders (including cross-store) in combination, after the single product discount, the total amount of the goods with the same full discount threshold reaches the corresponding shopping allowance, and the amount of the purchase price of the corresponding full discount threshold can be deducted.
Shipping time
The rules state that the orders paid by consumers from November 11 to November 17 must be shipped before the end of November 20, 2018.
The merchant must ship the orders paid by consumers within 72 hours from November 18 to November 19. It is worth noting that in the past, Tmall only made special instructions on the order shipment time between November 11 and November 17, and did not limit the order shipment time after the 17th.
Price protection period
Tmall said that the price protection period is within 15 days after the end of the 2018 Double 11 event (00:00:00 on November 12th to 23:59:59 on November 26th). During this period, the selling price of goods that have participated in the 2018 Double 11 event shall not be lower than the official Double 11 event price or pre-sale price.
If a product violates this price agreement, Tmall will deduct six points for general violations in accordance with the Tmall Rules and other relevant regulations.
At the same time, merchants need to pay attention that within 15 days after the event, the actual payment amount of consumers cannot be lower than the actual payment amount on Double 11. If there is any violation, consumers have the right to apply for price difference compensation.
Tmall recommends that merchants pay attention to the product prices and discount settings within 15 days after the event to avoid unnecessary price cuts.
