Regardless of which promo code you use, the fields have a standard look-and-feel and consistent logic to them. Once you can create one, you can create any others. We will use an example as a guide. We'll create a promo code for '20% off sleeping bags when you buy at least 4'.
Step-by-step guide
- In the CMS, navigate to Campaigns & Promotions → Promotion Codes.
- Click Add Promotion Code.
- Select Promotion Type = Product.
- Next, decide whether your customer needs to buy a certain quantity, or spend a certain dollar amount to qualify for the discount.
Select your scenario accordingly (we'll base ours on quantity).- Enter the Promotion Code (no spaces). This is what your customer enters at checkout to redeem the promo.
- Give the promotion a description. This will be displayed in the user's order summary during checkout.
- Specify Start and End dates. Click the calendar icon to launch the date picker.
- Enter the Discount Threshold. This is the quantity the customer must buy (or dollar amount they must spend) to qualify for the discount.
- Enter the Discount %. This is the discount the customer will receive on the specified products.
Note that for B2B scenarios, any customer-based discounts will still be honoured; this discount will be on top of that.- Click Add and specify the products for this promo. You can specify by:
- Product - add individual stock code(s)
- Stock Group - all products belonging to a particular ERP stock group
- Category - all products in a particular category
- Click Add again to specify more products if required.
- Click Save & Exit.
Your product discount promo is now ready to go!
