Promotions

This article explains how the Promotions section of the Store works.

Promotions is a Store tab where you can create a Discount or a Promo code.

To create a Promotion, click the "Add" button.

Important! A new Promotion is created disabled.

The first part of the Promotion settings:

1. Description — the text shown on the receipt under the promotion name.

2. Discount / Promo code switch — the promotion types. Here is what each one means:
   
   Discount — a promotion that is applied automatically when the set conditions are met.
   Promo code — a promotion that is applied when a shared or unique phrase is entered. You can also set conditions for a Promo code Promotion to apply.
   
   When you choose the Promo code type, you can set a shared promo code phrase or generate the required number of unique single-use phrases.
   

3. Activation conditions — define when the promotion is applied.

Condition types:

1. Categories — the promotion is activated if the user is in the specified category.

2. Product total — the promotion is activated if the products in the cart reach the specified amount, not counting price changes from Delivery and Payment options.

3. Number of products in the cart — the promotion is activated if the cart contains the specified number of product line items (not units).

4. Specific product added — the promotion is activated if the cart contains the specified product (useful for promotions like: Buy a table — get a second one free!). Important! All the specified products must be in the cart.

5. Product from a specific category added — the promotion is activated if any product from a specific category is added (useful for promotions like: Buy any pizza — get a free drink!).

Important! If a Promo code has additional conditions, the Promotion is activated only when the promo code phrase is entered AND the conditions are met.

The second part of the Promotion settings:

1. Price change — lets you set a price change for each order stage separately (example: 10% off products and free delivery).
   
   How the system works:
   1. Stage price is positive + AND discount value is positive + : the values are added (200 + 100 = 300).
   2. Stage price is positive + AND discount value is negative - : the values are added, but the result can't be less than zero (200 - 250 = 0).
   3. Stage price is zero 0 AND discount value is positive + : the values are added (0 + 200 = 200).
   4. Stage price is zero 0 AND discount value is negative - : the values are added, but the result can't be less than zero (0 - 250 = 0).
   5. Stage price is negative - AND discount value is negative - : the values are added (-200 - 1 = -201).
   6. Stage price is negative - AND discount value is positive + : the values are added (-200 + 1 = -199).
   7. Stage price is negative - AND discount value is zero 0 : the values are added (-200 + 0 = -200).
   8. Stage price is positive + AND discount value is zero 0 : the values are added (200 + 0 = 200).
   9. Stage price is zero 0 AND discount value is zero 0 : the values are added (0 + 0 = 0).
   

2. Add product — lets you add free products to the cart.

3. Promotion end — lets you set the maximum number of uses and the end time of the promotion.

4. Switch for interaction with other promotions — lets you choose one of two options:
   
   Combine promotions — all promotions are applied.
   Replace promotions — the promotion with the highest priority replaces ALL other promotions. If promotions have the same priority, a random one is chosen.

Additional settings:

1. Send a command after purchase.

2. Change scenario after purchase.
