Product Discount promotions can be configured created to grant users give your customers a dollar or percentage discount on an individual product or product group .

Conditions can be set so that a minimum order value must be reached, or the promotion can apply to orders of any value. The promotion can be unlimited, or can be granted to the first 25 users only, for example.  

In the screenshots below, a Product Discount promotion will be configured for 20% off all full-priced cameras, with the code 'CAMERA20'. The promotion will be valid for the first 50 orders, with a limit of once per user. The promotion will apply to a specific product group, with already discounted products excluded.

• • Promotion Code - unique code users will enter at checkout to redeem the offer. (e.g. 'CAMERA20' in our example)
  • Description - short description; this is displayed in the cart summary once the code is applied to the order.
  • Start Date - date the promotion code becomes valid.

• • • Add To Any Discount - adds the promotion to any other promotions currently applied.
    • Override Any Discount - applies the promotion and overrides any other discounts currently on the order. 
    • Override If More Than Current Discount - applies the promotion code and overrides any other discounts when the promotion code discount is more than the current discount.
  • Status: 
    • Active - the promotion code can be used. 
  • • Complete - the Promotion code is automatically set to this status when end date has passed, or global usage has been reached. 
    • Disabled - prevents the promotion code from being used.
  • Mode* - sets the user audience: B2B, B2C, or Both. (*Note: It's recommended that a promotion be configured for either B2C or B2B - not both, for the purposes of GST-calculation and display.)
  • Not applicable with other offers - when ticked, prevents the code from being used on orders where other promotion codes are applied.
  • When criteria fails remove promo code - when ticked, ensures the promotion code is removed from changed orders which no longer meet the promotion criteria.
  • Apply with charge line - Applies the discount as a charge line on the order instead of amending pricing of individual products.

• • • Discount Charge Type - the ERP's charge line type.
    • Discount Charge Description - the ERP's charge line description text.
  • Promo code no longer applies message - (not currently functional) Leave blank to use the system default.
  • Promotion code applied message - message displayed to the user when the promotion code is successfully applied to the order. Leave blank to use the system default.
  • Promotion code error message - message displayed to the user when an error occurs in applying the promotion code to the order. Leave blank to use the system default.

1. • User Usage Limit - maximum number of times this promotion code can be used by an individual user. Blank or 0 = unlimited.
     Our screenshot example is set to '1' so that each user can redeem the offer once only.
   • Customer Usage Limit - maximum number of times this promotion code can be used by an individual customer code. Blank or 0 = unlimited.
     Our screenshot example is set to 0, as all B2C users on this site are linked to the same Cash account customer code in PRONTO.
   • Global Usage Limit - maximum number of times this promotion code can be used site-wide. Blank or 0 = unlimited.
     Our screenshot example is set to '50' so that the offer can only be redeemed 50 times in total.

1. • Discount Percent - percentage discount applied to the product. 
     Our screenshot example is set to '20' for a 20% discount.
   • Discount Amount - dollar discount applied to the product. 
     Our screenshot example is set to '0', as a percent value has been specified instead of a dollar amount.
