Mechanics

Each type (DIRECT, VOLUME, COMBO, COMPLEX) of promotion has a set of attributes that can be combined in their mechanics, with combinations divided into 2 groups: the first group for activation rules and the second group for applied benefits.

Available atributes at this type of promotion: item, minimum, percentage, cash.

CustomerBuys - Activation rule for the promotion

Combinations allowed	Description	Notes	Mandatory	Type
items + minimum	Combining items + minimum means that when the minimum quantity of a specific product in the cart is reached, the promotion will be activated.	`customerBuys_items`: Should be filled with the SKU in question, limited to 1 SKU. It can also be filled with * to indicate that the promotion should be applied across the entire catalog. Allows more than 1 SKU? Yes! [SKU1,SKU2,SKU3] `customerBuys_minimum`: Integer field, must be filled with the minimum quantity to active the promotion.	Yes	Items: String minimum: Integer

CustomerGets - Benefits of the promotion

Is Volume promo cumulative?

Yes, in the case of a Volume-type promotion, upon reaching the minimum required to activate the promotion, all products in customerGets_items will receive the percentage/cash discount. For example: Buy at least 3 and get 15% off. In this case, there is no per-order limitation, meaning if the buyer adds 10 items, all 10 will receive 15% off.

Volume Promotion is not cumulative with other promotions, meaning it cannot be combined with the benefits of another promotion.

Examples:

Buy at least 10 boxes of candy (minimum quantity) and receive 15% off.
Buy at least 5 from the list ( SKU1, SKU2,SKU3 ) and receive 10% off.

Setting up example 1:

customerBuys_items: SKU_Candy
customerBuys_minimum: 10

customerGets_items: SKU_Candy
customerGets_percentage: 0.15

Setting up example 2:

customerBuys_items: SKU1, SKU2,SKU3
customerBuys_minimum: 5

customerGets_items: SKU1, SKU2,SKU3
customerGets_percentage: 0.10

Note:

In example 2, by purchasing a quantity of 5 of any item from the SKU list, the buyer will receive a 10% discount.
