Promotions

A promotion (also called an offer or a deal) is a discount on an item or on multiples of an item, such as buy-one-get-one (BOGO) promotions. Promotions are active for the time period that you set. If you have a loyalty program, you can target some promotions to loyalty customers only.

The following image shows an item tile with a buy-one-get-one promotion:

Promotion types

You can create the following types of promotions:

  • Buy 3, Get 1 Free
  • Buy 2, Get $5 Off
  • Buy 2, Get 10% Off
  • Buy 1, Get 2nd For $1.50 Off
  • Buy 3 for $15

An item can belong to one promotion type only. However, if an item in the promotion is also on sale, the promotion and the sale price stack.

Site changes

In the cart, when the promotion's conditions are met, the item price is struck out and the discounted price is shown above in a different font color.

The following image shows the same buy-one-get-one promotion in the cart after the promotion's conditions are met:

Shows an item with a quantity of 2, which qualifies for the buy-one-get-one promotion. The price for 2 items is struck out, and the discounted price is the same as the price for 1 item.

The cart total takes into account the discounts from retailer-defined promotions plus any other discounts, such as CPG coupon ads. On the checkout page, the discounts subtotal also includes both retailer-defined promotions and other discounts.
