Highlights
Section titled “Highlights”- Product sets by products, categories (with subcategories) and, on Multi-Vendor, vendors; exclusions for products, categories, vendors, already discounted items and sale items.
- Discount types: free, percent off, pay a percent of the price, amount off each item, fixed price per item and amount off the total of the items; a discount cap per bonus.
- Exact to the cent: the discount is written on the cart lines like a core product discount, so taxes (unit price and subtotal methods), coupons, currencies, order details and reports stay correct.
- Clear for shoppers: each line in the cart, at checkout and in the order details shows which promotion gave what, for example Buy 2, get the cheapest free: 1 × free −$16.97.
- Multi-Vendor: every vendor suborder gets exactly its share of the parent order’s discount.
- Cache-friendly: nothing is printed on cacheable pages (4.21 full page cache).
