Create Order-Based Promotions

You can create retail promotions, where the promotion applies to items purchased together, or a quantity of particular items purchased on an order.

Examples of these common order-based promotions include:

• If the customer purchases a memory card on the same order where they purchase a camera, then they receive 100 bonus points.

  For this promotion, you must create promotion attributes for the memory card and camera products. In the promotion rule, you check whether both product attributes are greater than or equal to one, choose the Assign Points action, and specify 100 points.

• If the customer purchases three or more of the same branded products on a single order, then they receive a 10% discount voucher for the brand products. This can include products on a single product line or from multiple product lines, totaling three.

  For this promotion, you must create an attribute that stores the total of items in that brand, and create a rule increasing the attribute value by one for each line item with that brand. After processing the line items, the rule must check whether the value of the attribute is greater than three, then choose the Assign Voucher action, and specify the 10% discount.

You must configure promotion-level attributes for the products to use in the promotion rules.
