Mega Deals tips 'n' tricks
- Watch the calendar: On any given day, only specific categories will be featured. Check the calendar and upload your deals as necessary. Don't worry, even if the category isn't featured, all approved deals will appear on the all deals page as well as the respective category pages.
- Upload your deals: You can upload deals for a specific date range to ensure that your deals are available on the days your category will be featured.
- Check your deal status: Deal approval will take place only two days before the start date of the deal range you have chosen, so keep an eye on your deal status and act accordingly.
- Compete: To ensure a fair competition process, noon's deal scoring algorithm will rank the best deals available and determine the order in which they will be featured. Hint: the greater your discount and the more competitive you are compared to other platforms, the higher your rank will be.

frequently asked questions: deals
will I win buy box if I add products to a Deal?
Because multiple participants can compete for the buy box price on deals, noon does not guarantee your deal will win the buy box price.
will my prices be locked after participating on a Deal?
Yes, prices for the entered deal stock will be locked during the deal period; however, if you want to change the price, simply exit the deal.
will noon cancel or extend any promotion?
Any promotion may be canceled, postponed, or preponed by noon, and this will be communicated on Seller Lab.
is there a guarantee that orders will be placed on our products if they are on Deals?
noon does not guarantee that orders for your deals will be placed as a result of the promotion.
what happens if I am out of stock while enrolled on a Deal?
Until you add more stock, your SKU will be marked as inactive on the Deal. Deal Stock is a subset of the product's inventory.
why is my SKU status ‘Pending’ on a Deal?
This means that we are still processing the enrollment of your SKUs into the Deal. It will soon be updated to Approved or Rejected once our checks have been done.
I don’t want my SKU to participate in a Deal anymore. How can I remove it?
You can make your SKU inactive by searching for it in the Deal and deactivating the 'Active' button.
How can I find a Deal for a specific category?
On the All Deals page, you can filter by category to find relevant Deals.
how do I calculate my SKU’s Deal price?
During the enrollment process, click the 'View Discount Info' tab on the Input Price/Stock page to get a recommended discount percentage for your category. Check that your Deal price is lower than the Current Offer price but higher than the SKU Price Minimum.
