Promotion triggers

Triggers are what the system uses to determine if a promotion should be applied. Using our earlier example of a common supermarket meal deal, we would create three triggers (Mains, Snacks, Drinks) each with a quantity of 1. We would then add the applicable “main” items to the Mains group, the snacks to the Snacks group, and the drinks to the Drinks group. Setting the quantity for each group to 1 means that a user would need to purchase an item from each group before the promotion will be applied.

Another example may be that you can buy multiple items at a set price, such as two bottles of water for £1. In this scenario, we would create a single promo group, with a single bottle of water PLU contained within it, but we would then set the quantity to 2, therefore a user would need to purchase two bottles of water in that transaction for the system to trigger the promotion.

*Before a promotion will be applied, all triggers must be met.
