Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 provides a flexible and powerful way to apply and manage discounts. The Content Selection Framework processes discounts by using the same pipelines that are used for ad selection and order processing.

Discounts are set up as parts of campaigns. For information about setting up discounts through Commerce Server Business Desk, see Creating a Discount. For information about the Content Selection pipeline, see Content Selection Pipelines.

  • Overview of Discount Elements. Describes the four elements of a discount: requirement, condition, award, and offer. Also described are the differences between order-level and item-level discounts.
  • How Discounts Are Applied Programmatically. Describes how the condition, award, and offer are evaluated in order to apply discounts to the purchases in the basket.
