To create a new promotion click the “New” button from the page mentioned above. On the promotions setup page there will be quite a few options which are explained below:
NOTE: that this field will be displayed in the shopping cart when the promotion is applicable to the order.
Be sure to leave this box unchecked if the promotion is not fully configured.
Several actions can be awarded through API, however only one is required.
However, if there are multiple Action options (Receive A OR B) the system must suggest even if this box is unchecked.
For example: if the condition is must have 3 items in current order to get 2 free, and 7 items are present, then 4 items would be awarded.
Ext: If checked the system will evaluate this promotion for "Online Orders" or orders coming through the Extranet or APIs.
Back Office: If checked the system will evaluate this promotion for Back Office Orders. Note, this is currently not implemented yet.
Target Type: Depending on the selection made this Promotion will be available to Reps, Customers, or Both.
Price Type: Select the price types that can earn this promotion. If no price types are selected the promotion cannot be awarded. The current order being evaluated must be of the appropriate price type for the promotion to evaluate.
Example a customer’s order qualifies for the promotion but the promotion is not being offered for the order. If customers are set up for Retail pricing but the Promotion is set up only for wholesale, then customers will not earn this promotion even if they’re selected in the Target Type.
NOTE: this field is only used with period-aware clients such as Natura.
Note: This section will not be available until the promotion has been saved. Once the promotion is saved the condition can be added by editing the promotion.
Please note that images must have dimensions of 150px (W) x 150px (H) or smaller and be in either JPG or GIF format. Maximum file size is 150KB.
After all fields have been filled out as desired click “Save” to save the promotion you just created.
