There’s something most people forget to consider here: That’s the difficulty of displaying different prices on different channels… It might look like piece of cake to most users, but from a development perspective, that might be [very] difficult to accomplish.
Logbon72 it all depends how the platform has been developed. But in the general sense most of platforms today can display products with different prices on different channels and channel and price are different properties on the databases (or what we can call on this case the product catalogue)
Knowing the Konga team and their professional value I am sure their product have been defined that way
But as I said the 5 days shut down is clearly a maintenance window and they are using the opportunity to do a promotion and some good PR (at least from visibility pov, judging with the intensity of our discussion here)
With app, you can send a push notification on your promo and trigger purchase. I suspect CTR on newsletter is getting impacted.
Wow. Because you have made a significant purchase off a push notification before? The justification people are bringing up for this ridiculous move is just mind boggling to be honest.
See, Konga can afford to do this and after five days, they’ll be fine like nothing ever happened. Customers who could not access the website in that time would be back and take it as another glitch or something they don’t understand (as is the case with many other services in Nigeria anyway). However, let’s not pretend like this move makes sense, especially for the reasons given.

If displaying different prices on different channels caused them to shut down for five days, then I am very scared of what their application architecture looks like. That can’t be the reason. I hope.
Their site runs on Magento i believe
Yes it does but I doubt what value that information brings to the conversation.
