Cart Rules

A cart rule is a promotion that applies at checkout, based on what is in the basket. Buy two get one free, ten per cent over 20 dinars, free delivery for a customer group - no coupon code, no new catalog item, just a condition and a reward.

Cart rules and order rules are two levels of the same promotion engine - cart rules act on the basket contents, order rules on the order as a whole. Both are built the same way: general details, a condition builder, and one or more actions.

Building a rule

General details carry the name, whether it is active, the start and end dates, and a priority that decides which rule wins when several could apply.

Conditions are combined with all or any logic and can test payment method, basket total, item count, order and product history, order and payment status, specific products or categories, customer group, delivery zone, branch, and sales channel - POS, store or mobile app.

Actions are what the customer receives: a free payment method, a free order count, buy X get the cheapest free, a discounted order, discounted products, discounted categories, or a tiered discount. Each action carries a redeem count limiting how often it applies.

Launch a promotion

  1. Write the offer as a sentence first - "spend 20, get free delivery" - then build exactly that and nothing more.
  2. Set the conditions as narrowly as the offer really requires. Every extra condition is another thing that can silently stop it firing.
  3. Choose the action and set its redeem count.
  4. Set the start and end dates. An unbounded promotion is the most common cause of margin damage nobody noticed.
  5. Set the priority relative to your other live rules.
  6. Test as a customer before announcing it: add the qualifying basket, and check the discount appears and the total is what you intended.
Warning: Rules stack unless priority prevents it. A cart rule plus a customer-group discount plus a coupon can take an order below cost. Build the worst-case basket yourself and look at the total before you launch.
Tip: Free delivery over a threshold set slightly above your average order value is usually the most profitable promotion available, because it lifts basket size instead of cutting price on what people were already buying.
