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.
