I have a sale that starts at midnight, and a script updates the prices on a schedule, but the prices stay cached for hours. Is there a way to start the sale without getting up at midnight and doing a manual cache clear?

instead of scripting, maybe check out the new Advance Pricing feature: https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1023493/loc/en_US

It's not reliably compatible with SuiteCommerce, so I would not advise that

@Steve Goldberg really? Interesting insight there. I was planning on investigating that feature for future SuiteCommerce prices changes as well

OK, this isn't a complete picture, but my understanding is that: • The most problematic area is customer-specific pricing; date effective pricing might be OK to use • In particular, there are discrepancies between anonymous and logged-in customers, where the API doesn't reliably return the correct price
This is more of a suggestion of 'abundance of caution' – we generally consider inventory levels and pricing to be the two big things to get right on a web store, and so I don't want a situation where your customers are shown the wrong prices

That makes sense, especially in the context of guest customers, similar to how we handle the personalized product catalogs.
