Discount campaigns
You create discount campaigns in the GC.CART application.
- Go to the Shop tab and select Discount campaigns from the list.
- Select the plus button and, in the window that appears, specify the type of discount you want.
After completing all the required fields, save the data with the Save button. Then enter the created campaign, select the Attributes tab, press the plus button, add the item you are interested in (TOW), add it to the corresponding Pool and set it to Active.
What can the scope of a discount be?
The discount can cover the whole cart, sets in the campaign, and the value of the cart.
Points a and b apply to sets — e.g. a helmet from Pool 1 + a T-shirt from Pool 2 — so a minimum of one set must be purchased for the discount to take effect (1 product from Pool 1 and 1 from Pool 2).
- a. Whole cart — if any set occurs (products from Pools 1 and 2), the discount is calculated on the value of the whole cart.
- b. Sets in campaign — if any items from Pools 1 and 2 occur, the discount is calculated on the value of the pairs of goods from Pools 1 and 2. For example, with one item from Pool 1 and two from Pool 2, the discount applies to only one item from Pool 1 and one from Pool 2. The maximum number of "Sets in campaign" lets you limit the discount — e.g. if a customer buys 2 goods from each pool, you can limit it to one set.
- c. Cart value — this differs from the two above, because it applies to specific products, not sets. If any item defined in Attributes occurs, the discount is calculated on the sales value of that item; you do not need to specify a pool for the product.
- d. For one penny — if the minimum cart value is met, the customer can buy a specific index for 1 PLN.
Here you define the goods to be sold in the promotion (e.g. a mug for 1 PLN).
- Minimum cart value — the amount from which the discount is calculated (provided that Attributes are not filled in). If Attributes are defined, the cart must contain at least one product defined in the attributes (and then the minimum value of the whole cart is also counted).
- Maximum cart value — the amount up to which the discount is calculated (provided that attributes are not filled in). If attributes are defined, the cart must contain at least one product defined in the attributes (and then the maximum value of the whole cart is also counted).
- Minimum value of goods in the promotion — the minimum value of goods defined in the Attributes at which the promotion is triggered (this is not the number of pieces). If you enter 300 here, the promotion works only when, for example, the mugs (in the attributes) reach a value of 300 PLN.
This promotion works as an OR: you fill in the minimum and maximum cart value or the minimum value of the goods in the promotion.
It is possible to set priorities:
- Priority 1 — minimum cart value 1 PLN, maximum 100 PLN. If an item is added within this range, the defined item for 1 PLN is counted in the promotion.
- Priority 2 — minimum 100 PLN, maximum 500 PLN. Same behaviour within this range.
- Priority 3 — minimum 500 PLN, maximum 1000 PLN. Same behaviour within this range.
Amount discount type
For an amount discount, it matters what the discount amount is deducted from. There are two possibilities:
- a. from the value of each item
- b. from the value of the set
After defining all the necessary fields in the created campaign, save it, then enter the Attributes tab.
TOW codes can be added in two ways:
a. Manually, by pressing the plus button.
b. By importing data from a file.
Below is the correct data format needed to import from the file. WART = TOW_KOD, the rest as in the file.
