Adding Excluded Products
You can specify products to be excluded from order promotions. Use this option, for example, to exclude products (SKUs) that represent gift certificates or products that don't qualify for any promotion because they are already discounted in price books.
This option is available for order promotions of type: With amount of qualifying products.
"10% discount on orders of $100 or more (DOES NOT INCLUDE GIFT CERTS)".
The assumption is that gift certificates are created as SKUs in the catalog. The storefront user interface should show "10% item-level discount", so its important that it be set up as an order-level promotion and not a product-level promotion.
The merchants creates this promotion:
Setting | Value |
---|---|
Promotion class | Order |
Promotion type | With amount of qualifying products |
Discount | Buy $100 or more and get 10% off |
Non-qualifying products | Gift certificates |
- The customer adds a gift certificate for $50 and DVDs costing $60 to the cart. The total order value is $110. The Order promotion isn't applied because the $100 threshold has not been reached ($110 - GiftCerts = $60).
- The customer adds more DVDs to cart; so that the cart now contains gift certificate $50 and DVDs costing $105. The order promotion is now applied because the $100 threshold has been reached. The 10% discount is applied on the order value excluding the gift certificates ($155 - GiftCerts = $105; discount = $10.50)
