Item | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Lineitem then cart | Promotions are applied to individual items first. After that, cart-level promotions are applied on the new subtotal. | Cart contains shoes ($100) and towels ($20). With "Line-item with cart" evaluation, promotions apply in order: (1) 10% off shoes = $90, (2) Buy 1 towel get 1 free = $10, creating a new subtotal of $100. Then (3) 10% off cart for purchases above $99 applies to this $100 subtotal, demonstrating how cart-level promotions calculate on the reduced amount after line-item promotions are processed first. |
Cart or lineitem with cart first | Cart-level promotions are applied first. Promotions on individual items are only applied if no cart-level promotions are present. | Cart promotions apply first; if unavailable, then line-item promotions apply. Using the previous example (shoes $100, towels $20, total $120), only the cart promotion (#3: 10% off purchases above $99) would apply to the $120 total, resulting in $108 final amount. Line-item promotions (#1 and #2) are skipped since a cart promotion was available. |
Multiple promotion for single lineitem | Only one promotion can be applied to each quantity of a product. If enabled, different promotions could apply to different quantities of the same product, based on a ranking system. | Cart contains 2 cokes, 3 biscuits, and 1 chai. With multiple promotions enabled for single line items, both coke promotions can apply simultaneously: "$10 off on one coke" affects the first coke while "10% off on coke" applies to the remaining coke quantity, allowing different promotions to target different quantities of the same product. |
Multiple promotion for cart level | More than one promotion can be applied to the whole cart. Useful for combining various cart-level offers. | Cart total is $150. With multiple cart-level promotions enabled, you can combine: "Free shipping on orders over $100" + "5% off entire cart" + "$10 off orders above $120". All three cart-level promotions apply simultaneously, resulting in free shipping, 5% discount on the $150 total, and an additional $10 reduction, maximizing customer savings through stacked cart offers. |
| Gross: Discounts are calculated based on the total amount before tax and any additional charges. | — |
| This section defines the order in which promotions are applied when multiple are valid. Promotions are prioritized and applied accordingly to ensure the correct one is used first. | — |
Promotion ranking order
When multiple promotions are applicable for cart items (cart or catalog discount), you can define the ranking of promotions before applying them. Segmented promotions are categorised into three base types during creation:
- Loyalty promotion
- POS (Point of Sale) promotion
- Loyalty earning promotion
You can click Update to modify or adjust how promotions are grouped or prioritized based on this change.
