promotionalContent Item Descriptor

The promotionalContent item type provides information about a pricing promotion or marketing campaign on ATG Store. It allows a merchant to consolidate any number of possible marketing tools into a single item: image, text, a link to a product or category, and a pricing promotion. This gives the merchant flexibility for the type of content that can be populated in a slot on a page, or be referenced from a category or product. Note that promotionalContent items are informational only. The actual granting of pricing promotions is handled by other mechanisms.

For the purposes of Commerce Reference Store, a promotionalContent item is essentially an image, sometimes with supporting text. This illustration shows two examples of promotionalContent items:

promotionalContent properties include:
