# Run a promotion: sales, discounts and prices by country

> Put a paid game on sale with a discount and dates, set your own price per country, and apply for a promotion slot on Summer Games run with the Summer team.

<Note>
  **Early access.** Promotions is still being built. Discounts and prices by country are live. A promotion slot is an application to the Summer team, not a purchase. Until you have a game on Summer Games, this page shows example data, marked **Example data**.
</Note>

Open **Promotions** at [summerengine.com/studio/grow/promotions](https://summerengine.com/studio/grow/promotions). It has three parts.

## 1. See what players pay now

**Prices and discounts on Summer Games now** lists each paid game: its list price, what players pay now, the discount and its dates, and whether players can buy it yet. A free game has no price to discount.

## 2. Put a game on sale

A sale is a discount with a start and an end, set on the game itself:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the game's Get paid step">
    Click **Change price or discount** next to the game.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the discount">
    Choose a **Discount** from 1% to 90%, when it **Starts** (today if empty) and when it **Ends**. A sale runs at most 90 days.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save price**. Between those dates players pay the discounted price, and **Players pay now** on Promotions shows it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

A price needs payouts set up first. See [Earnings & payouts](/grow/earnings).

## 3. Set prices by country

One base price in US dollars applies everywhere. You can set your own price in the countries you choose:

1. Under **Prices by country**, pick a **Country** and enter the **Price (USD)**.
2. Leave **End in .99** on to round to a whole dollar ending in .99.
3. Click **Set price**. The line above the button shows what players there will see.

In VAT and GST countries the price players see includes the tax; elsewhere it is before tax. Remove a country to go back to the base price. Prices are locked while a price test runs. If Summer Games has not opened prices by country for your game yet, the page says so and everyone pays the base price.

## Apply for a promotion slot

A promotion slot is a sale the Summer team plans and promotes with you. Fill in **Apply for a promotion slot**:

| Field | What to put |
| - | - |
| **Name** | A name for the sale, such as "Launch week sale". |
| **Game** | Which game. |
| **Discount** | 5% to 90%. |
| **On** | The whole game, an item, or a game pass. |
| **Starts (UTC)**, **Ends (UTC)** | When it runs. |
| **Who sees it** | Everyone, new players, returning players, or lapsed players (14 days or more). |
| **What do you hope to achieve?** | Your goal, in a sentence or two. |
| **Budget in mind** | What you would spend, and the currency. |

Click **Send application**. The Summer team reaches out by email to plan it with you. Nothing is charged and nothing is scheduled when you apply. **Your applications** shows each one's status: **Applied**, **We reached out**, **Accepted** or **Not this time**.

The owner or an admin of the game can apply.

## With your agent

Ask "put my game 25% off next week" or "set my price in Germany". The Studio assistant reads your prices, sets prices by country, and opens the game's Get paid step for discounts. For a promotion slot it sends the application for you. From another agent, use `summer_grow_prices` and `summer_grow_apply` on the Summer Engine MCP. See [Use the agent](/grow/use-the-agent).
