Creating Promotions
You can create promotions for each predefined promotion type. This section examines the different promotion records in detail and explains how to create the following promotions:
-
Item promotions – give percentage or currency amount discounts on items, see Creating Item Promotions.
-
Fixed price item promotions – give items for a fixed discounted price, see Creating Fixed Price Item Promotions.
-
Order promotions – give percentage or currency discounts at the order level, see Creating Order Promotions.
-
Shipping promotions – give your customers free shipping on specific shipping methods, see Creating Shipping Promotions.
-
Free gift promotions – give your customers a free gift that is automatically added to their order, see Creating Free Gift Promotions.
To create any type of promotion you must first go to the new promotions landing page, where you can select the type of promotion you want to create.
To open the new promotions landing page, go to Lists > Marketing > Promotions > New.
The basic workflow for creating SuitePromotions is as follows:
Each type of SuitePromotion follows the same workflow. You select the promotion type, enter basic properties and scheduling information, enter the Buy conditions, specify further Get conditions, and finally create a coupon code. The main variation in the process occurs when applying the Get conditions available, which differ depending on the type of promotion.
The promotion records for all SuitePromotions contain the following sections:
-
Basic Properties – see SuitePromotions Basic Properties
-
Scheduling – see SuitePromotions Scheduling
-
Further Settings – see SuitePromotions Further Settings

Each section is identical for each SuitePromotion type with the exception of the What the Customer Needs to Buy and What the Customer Will Get sections.
