Loss leader is a marketing pattern implemented in stores:
A customer enters a store and while heading to some most desired expensive products far from entrance, that customer picks some products sold in "losing price" (products which any shop owner barely makes any desirable profit from) used to tempt the customer into the store and to motivate that customer to buy more expensive products.

How to implement "Loss leader" marketing pattern in ecommerce websites?

One way is a homepage filled with special deals and another is popups once in a while, have I missed anything?

Can you please make the question more about Software Development? Currently, it sounds more like a "marketing" or UX at best.

I would define that a website is a web application, hence an application, hence software and marketers would often turn to software developers asking to implement a certain marketing scheme.

What should we do then?...

deleted user Software developers should understand the business requirements and think about a way to implement them. If they are not sure about a particular aspect of the architecture, they can come to Codidact, provide the relevant details and ask about the particular aspect they want to clarify.

Of course, specific code questions also belong here, but the post suggests a very early stage in the software development cycle for this particular request.

Alexei‭ I have indeed suggested ways to implement this but maybe I missed any.

The question seems to me a good fit even though it's not about code (but about planning), maybe I miss something.

deleted user Questions not about code are OK, as long as they are close to the development process. Example: https://software.codidact.com/posts/285389. Here I am not providing any code and neither do the answers. However, I am speaking about specific implementation details, not just a rough idea.
