In Omnium, promotions are categorized into two main types: price-generated promotions and cart-calculated promotions.
Price-generated promotions
Price-generated promotions involve adjustments to product prices. This may include discounts on specific brands, categories, or similar items. For instance, reducing the price of a particular brand or product category.
Cart-calculated promotions
Cart-calculated promotions entail discounts calculated based on the contents of the customer's cart. This might require the customer to input a promotion code, or the discount could be automatically calculated based on certain criteria, such as the total cart value or the number of products added to the cart.
Types of promotion
When setting up a promotion, you have the option to select from four different types of promotions:
- Shipping discount
- Category / brand discount
- Multi-buy / Mix & Match discount
- Order amount discount
Enable promotions
If this is the first time you're using promotions, you need to ensure that the promotion engine is enabled so that the shopping cart is updated with each change. If enabled, the promotion engine will run on every cart update.
- Navigate to Configuration -> Settings -> Orders -> Promotion.
- Enable “Is enabled”.
Manage and create promotions
To manage and create promotions, you can navigate to the "Orders" section and then select "Promotions." Here, you'll find a list of all promotions, both active and inactive. Inactive promotions will be grayed out.
Within the promotions list, you can filter promotions based on tags, promotion type, or valid promotions from a specific date.
To create a new promotion, simply click on the "Create" button located in the left corner of the screen.
