Background
Like a brick and mortar retail store, promotions are an important tool for increasing on line sales. Elastic Path Commerce 6.1 provides you with an easy way of creating promotions for this purpose.
There are two types of promotions available in Elastic Path Commerce 6.1, Shopping Cart promotions and Catalog promotions.
- Shopping Cart promotions are designed to increase the number of items in a customer's shopping cart, and can only be used by eligible customers. An example of a Shopping Cart promotion is giving the customer free shipping if they spend $150 or more in total on the goods in their shopping cart.
These promotions are only visible once the customer has added items to her shopping cart.
- Catalog promotions are designed to increase sales of specific products from a catalog and are available to all customers of that catalog. A typical Catalog promotion might offer the customer 15% off the price of a specific camera brand and model.
These promotions are visible in the storefront/catalog pages.
