Creating and Managing Deals on Levanta

How to Create Deals in Levanta

In this guide, you’ll learn how to create and manage product deals on Levanta either manually or through a CSV upload. These deals help you highlight promotional pricing for Creators and boost engagement.


Getting Started

Levanta allows Sellers to showcase current and upcoming deals directly in the Creator-facing product catalog.

To create a new deal:

1. Go to Products → Deals

2. Click Add Deal

3. Select a product from your imported ASINs

4. Fill out the required fields and click save:

   • Product

   • Deal Type

   • Full Price

   • Discount Percent

   • Start Date (PT)

   • End Date (PT)

Once saved, the deal will be visible to Creators and labeled as either “current” or “upcoming” in their Product Catalog.

Upload Deals via CSV

If you’re adding multiple deals at once:

1. Go to Products →  Deals

2. Click Upload Deals via CSV (upper right corner)

3. Follow the step-by-step instructions to format and upload your file

Tip: Double-check that the dates and discount fields are properly formatted to avoid upload errors.

• Start Date with the start time: Example: 10/1/2025 12:30:00

• End Date with the end time: Example: 10/5/2025 18:00:00

Notes: 

• The start and end date need to have the seconds included

• Anything that is not a coupon or promo code should be listed as Deal for the deal type

You can use this template for your CSV uploads:

Adjust Private Commissions: Yes or No

How Are Deals Reflected in Commission?

Commissions are calculated based on the “Sale Price” reported by Amazon Attribution.

• Discounted, Prime Day, and Limited-Time Deals: These do reflect the deal-adjusted price in attribution reports so commissions are based on what the customer actually paid.
  

Lightning Deals, Coupons, Promo Codes, and Subscribe & Save: These do not reflect the adjusted price. In these cases, commissions are calculated based on the regular product price. Also, we cannot adjust commissions or create deals for Subscribe and Save.

Adjusting Commissions for Deals

Amazon's reported sales amount doesn't always reflect the discounted price a customer actually paid. For certain deal types, Amazon may still report the product's original price to Levanta even when the customer used a discount.

If Adjust Commissions isn't enabled, creator commissions may be calculated based on that original price. Enabling Adjust Commissions has Levanta automatically schedule a commission rate adjustment for the deal period based on the full price and discount you enter, so the final creator commission matches what the customer actually paid.

When to Enable Adjust Commissions

Turn this on for:

• Lightning Deals

• Coupons

• Promo Codes

These deal types' discounted prices aren't always reflected in Amazon's attribution reports, so enabling Adjust Commissions keeps creator commissions from being calculated on the full price.

You typically don't need it for:

• Discounted Deals

• Prime Day Deals

• Limited-Time Deals

Amazon usually reports the correct discounted price for these, so commissions are already calculated based on what the customer paid.

💡 Note: Subscribe & Save doesn't currently support Deals or Adjust Commissions.

How to Turn It On

When uploading a Deals CSV or creating a deal manually:

• Set Adjust Public Commissions to Yes, or

• Set Adjust Private Commissions to Yes

Levanta will automatically schedule the applicable commission rate adjustment for the deal period based on the discount you provide.

What Happens When You Enable It

Levanta schedules a new, lower commission rate for the duration of the deal. Even though Amazon may still report the original price, the adjusted rate ensures the final creator commission matches the discounted price.

Example:

• Full price: $100

• Discounted price: $50

• Original commission rate: 10%

Without Adjust Commissions:

$100 × 10% = $10 creator commission

With Adjust Commissions enabled, Levanta lowers the rate to 5% for the deal period:

$100 × 5% = $5 creator commission

That matches what you'd get calculating from the discounted price directly:

$50 × 10% = $5 creator commission

So you may see the commission rate drop from 10% to 5% during the deal. This isn't a cut to what creators earn — it's how Levanta keeps the final commission amount aligned with the discounted price, even when Amazon reports the full price.

After the Deal Ends

Commissions revert to your previously scheduled settings. You can view scheduled commission adjustments on the product page.
