Processing Discounts

  • Article

The Discounts Content Selection Framework (CSF) pipeline uses the OrderDiscount pipeline component to process discounts. You use the Discounts CSF pipeline to advertise the most appropriate discount to a user, and the Basket pipeline to apply discounts to the shopping basket.

  • Discounts CSF pipeline checks the start date and end date of the discounts, and then adjusts the scores in the list of possible discounts. It ensures that the discounts that are most relevant to the current user receive the highest priority.
  • The OrderDiscount pipeline component first applies the requirements to the available discounts. Depending on the discount involved, it uses the user profile and context profile information to evaluate target expressions. In addition, if a discount requires a click, it checks the list of campaign item IDs for every item clicked. Next, the Order pipeline processes each item, testing the conditions and awards. Discounts are applied from highest to lowest priority. If two discounts have the same priority, properties other than the priority determine the order in which the discounts are applied.
