Promotions

Promotions are incentives offered to shoppers to promote the purchase of items in a store. A store’s marketer creates promotions and defines a set of conditions that must be met before the promotion is applied to a given shopper. Promotions may trigger discounts or may trigger other incentives such as free items. When a promotion triggers a discount, the discounts are automatically applied to the item price, cart line item price, shipping option cost, line items total, cart total, and the order total.

Promotions are linked to a number of different resources:

• Promotions - The promotions resource provides a list of all the promotions available for the store
• Items - Promotions are linked to items when a promotion exists for that item and the shopper is eligible to receive the promotion
• Carts - Promotions are linked to carts when the contents of the shopper’s cart meet the conditions of the promotion
• Cart line items - Promotions are linked to cart line items when the line item meets the conditions of the promotion
• Shipping options - Promotions are linked to shipping options on an order shipment when the option meets the conditions of the promotion
• Purchases - Promotions are linked to purchases when the purchase had promotions applied to it
• Coupons - Promotion are linked to a coupon when the coupon triggered the promotions to apply
