   Conditions for the catalog price rules can be created in groups.  By default, to start there is already an existing condition group called "Condition group 1".  The first option that you can select is the ADD A NEW CONDITION GROUP button.  It is followed by five groups that make up the options for the conditions that you can apply to each catalog price rule.  These groups allow you to specify the item(s) in your inventory that you are going to discount.  Here are the groups:
   
   
   

   Categories	Categories of products per the definition in the catalog
   Manufacturer	Manufacturers of products per the list in your catalog
   Supplier	Suppliers of products per the list in the catalog
   Attributes	Attributes of products as defined in the catalog
   Features	Features of products as defined in the catalog

   
   NOTE:  All of these classifications are defined per the CATALOG organizations created when products were added to your PrestaShop store.
4. Click on ADD CONDITION next to the CATEGORY and you will see the following occur in Condition Group 1:
   
   
   
   
   Using these options, you can build the conditions to specify products that would be affected by a price discount event such as a sale. Click on the drop-down arrows next to each field in order to select the options that have been created in the catalog for your shop.  Here's a screenshot with a condition using all of the options (note the correlation between what has been chosen in the drop-down menus):
   
   
   
   
   
5. To add another condition group simply click on ADD A NEW CONDITION GROUP again and you can again define the conditions that will determine the products affected by your catalog price rule.

Catalog Price Rules are basically a way to create events that allow a change in the price of a product or group of products.  The CONDITIONS that you create control the products that are affected by your catalog price rules.  These conditions are defined based on the CATALOG options that were created for the products in the PrestaShop store. Use these Catalog Price Rule conditions in order to create sale events for products that will best benefit you and your customers.
