The order in which the system combines the discounts might be important in situations such as the following: You give two discounts to the same visitor, one (Promotion A) offering $10 off any product and another (Promotion B) offering 50% off any helmet. Suppose the visitor orders a helmet that usually costs $30. If the system applies the promotions in the order A-B, the final price of the helmet is $10. If the order is B-A, the final price is $5. Note that if you give the same order of application number to more than one promotion, when the system cycles to that number, it calculates the discounts for those promotions randomly. |
