You can test new promotions by creating a test that grants promotions to users when set conditions are met. For example, test participants could receive a promotion when they visit a specific page.
Note: If a customer is a member of a test group that is set to receive a promotion, the customer will not receive the promotion if it is a single use promotion that has already been used by the customer. For more information on promotions, see the ATG Commerce Guide to Setting Up a Store.
