Set Special Price

Module: Mage_Catalog

Resource: catalog_product

Aliases:

product

Method:

catalog_product.setSpecialPrice (SOAP V1)
catalogProductSetSpecialPrice (SOAP V2)

Allows you to set the product special price.

Aliases:

product.setSpecialPrice

Note:

Although the API accepts up to four digits of precision for all price arguments, Magento strongly recommends you pass in two digits to reduce inaccuracy in the tax calculation process. (That is, use a price like 12.35 and not 12.3487).

Arguments:

Type	Name	Description
string	sessionId	Session ID
string	productId	Product ID or SKU
string	specialPrice	Product special price
string	fromDate	Date starting from which special price will be applied
string	toDate	Date till which special price will be applied
string	storeView	Store view ID or code (optional)
string	productIdentifierType	Defines whether the product ID or SKU is passed in the ‘productId’ parameter (optional)

Returns:

Type	Name	Description
boolean/int	result	True (1) if the special price is set for the product
