Commerce Reference Store evaluates each promotion every time it does a pricing operation. The evaluation process is as follows: item discounts are evaluated first, followed by order discounts, and finally shipping discounts.
For each promotion type (item/order/shipping), priority settings further refine the order in which the promotions are evaluated. Promotions with a higher priority are evaluated before promotions with a lower priority. Promotions that are of the same type and have the same priority have no guaranteed sequence, so the order in which they are evaluated is undefined. For example, Commerce Reference Store includes three shipping discount promotions:
TENSHIP Coupon – Free Shipping, priority 1
10LIEFERUNG Coupon – Free Shipping, priority 1
ATG Home – Free Shipping, priority 2
When evaluating these promotions, Commerce Reference Store randomly evaluates one of the priority 1 promotions, then it evaluates the other priority 1 promotion, and finally it evaluates the priority 2 promotion. The following table shows the promotions defined for Commerce Reference Store, grouped by promotion type and priority:
