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.

Discount scope options.

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.
Cart-value scope.
  • d. For one penny — if the minimum cart value is met, the customer can buy a specific index for 1 PLN.
The 'for one penny' option.

Here you define the goods to be sold in the promotion (e.g. a mug for 1 PLN).

Defining the goods sold in the promotion.
  • 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.

Minimum/maximum cart value and priorities.

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
