How can I offer a discount on my assets (personal sales and vouchers)?

Updated

You can offer personal discounts on your Unity Asset Store assets outside official sales by lowering prices via the Unity Publisher Portal, following strict rules: mention discounts only in the description, avoid sale graphics, limit sales to two weeks with two-month gaps, and clearly state sale details. Official sale tags or previous prices won't appear for personal sales. Changes require Asset Store curation approval.

 
 

1. Offering a Discount to All Users (Self-Managed Sale)

You are able to personally discount your assets on the Asset Store as part of a self-managed promotion or marketing campaign. There are, however, rules in doing so.
 
Please see the following set of rules you must abide by should you decide to host a personal sale:
  • The only place on your asset page where you can state the discount is in the descriptive text of the asset. Any changes to the artwork, such as banners or logos that draw attention to a separate 'sale' to the Asset Store's sales, are prohibited.
  • Personal sales can not last longer than two weeks. Failure to restore your original price within two weeks may result in any mention of a sale being removed from your product's details without notice.
  • Sale periods must be separated by at least 2 months.
  • Details of your sale must be provided in your description text. The sale period and regular price must be mentioned.
  • You are not allowed to include any sale-related graphics throughout your package’s imagery.
  • You may not promote your product as being included in any sales or features hosted by Unity Technologies that you are not officially included in.
  • To be considered for an official Unity-organized sale, your package must maintain a consistent price for at least 2 months prior. A price increase due to a large update will not disqualify you from being included in a sale.
  • After being included in an official sale, your package cannot be reduced for at least 6 weeks.
  • New assets may begin on sale for the first two weeks of launch, as long as this sale is stated in the product description with the regular price listed.
 
You can change the price of your asset via the Unity Publisher Portal. Prices can be changed within the Details tab for your selected package.

Make sure to state the price change in the Changelog text box within the Release notes tab.

Next, you need to state the price change in the Description text box. For example, the price to and from and for how many days the price is being reduced.

Once you have added the new price changes to your asset for submission, it is reviewed by the Asset Store curation team, just like a new update. Once approved, the changes appear in the Asset Store.
Please note: When discounting your assets on the store, the asset will not have a sale tag or the previous amount at which the asset price was displayed, for example, Was $20.00, now $15.00. These are only used for official Asset Store sales.
 

2. Offering a Discount to Specific Users (Voucher)

If you want to provide a discount for specific users only, you can do so by issuing an Asset Store voucher.
How to issue a voucher

To offer a discount to a single user, you can issue an Asset Store voucher. For detailed instructions, please refer to: Issue an Asset Store voucher

For any additional questions or further guidance about this process, we recommend using the Publisher Discussion channel, where Unity Asset Store team members and fellow publishers can provide technical support and advice.
