# How to Setup Special Price in Magento 2



**Special Price** is called a promotional campaign you will give to shoppers within an exact time. The special price is shown both on the catalog page and product detail page while the ordinary price is grayed out, both of them are linked by word “was” like $20.00 was $48.00.

From Magento 2 settings, you can get the special price configuration in the Advanced Settings of the individual product. Then you only need to enter the number for the discounted price and the active time to apply. As you configure, the special price is applied immediately.

Special Price can be used as an effective FOMO call to action, as it brings an exciting offer for hesitant customers. This tutorial will show you steps to set up the special price on both the catalog page and product page:
