Multiple Discounts

  • Article

You can create multiple discounts by using discount interaction policies. Discount interaction policies are rules that determine whether an item can receive multiple discounts or multiple awards. Commerce Server supports four different discount interaction policies.

  • A condition item can be reused as another condition item. Instructs Commerce Server that a condition item used to qualify for an offer can be reused to qualify for another offer.
  • A condition item can be reused as an award item. Instructs Commerce Server that an item used to qualify for a discount can still be eligible to receive an offer.
  • An award item can be reused as a condition item. Instructs Commerce Server that an item upon which an award was given can still be used to qualify for other offers.
  • An award item can be used as another award item. Instructs Commerce Server that an item upon which an award was given is eligible to receive additional offers, for example, an item can receive multiple awards.

The four discount interaction policies can all be selected at the same time. Together they provide you with significantly more control over how discounts are applied.
