How to set a Pinogy Amount Off Promotion.

Pinogy offers the ability to create Amount Off promotions. This type of promotion allows a dollar amount off the price of purchased products. There are several modifiers that can be applied to the promotion and these will be detailed below.

 

To create an Amount Off Promotion

The Amount Off Promotion will need to be created. To make an Amount Off Promotion :

  1. First, open the Products module.

  2. Click on the Promotions button.

  3. Click New.

  4. Click on Create Custom.

     

  5. This will open the Manage Promotion window where you will need to set the promotion Name and Type. Use the drop-down menu to select the Amount Off type.

  6. When you set the Type, some of the settings options will change.

    1. Set the Amount Off Each to how much off the price the customer should receive when the promotion conditions are fulfilled.

    2. Under the Qualifiers Per Product section, you can set the Min Buy Qty to how many of the items need to be purchased to earn the reward.

    3. The two radio buttons can control whether any of the products in the promotion can be purchased if more than one is required (Mix and Match) or if it has to be multiple of the same product only.

    4. The Product Subtotal Range

    5. The Product Price Range can be used to set what price range you want the products that qualify to be within.

    6. Max Qty Per Sale can be used to limit how many products get the discount as part of each sale. Example: Only one discount per transaction.

    7. Limit # Total Invoices is used to set how many times the promotion’s discount will apply. Example: The promotion only applies to the first 100 customers who claim it.

  7. The Qualifiers tab will be the first tab by default. In the Qualifiers Per Invoice section, there are several options that can be set for how the promotion is applied. The Limit By drop-down menu is used to set the products that qualify for the promotion. If you uncheck the Limit By then all products in your inventory will qualify for the promotion. What you select will also change the title of the next tab in the list.

  8. Locations selection can be used to limit the promotion to certain locations if you have multiple.

  10. The Delivery Type selection can be used to have the promotion apply to only certain types of orders such as the ones used by the Pinogy Ecommerce websites.

  11. The New Customer Only selection allows you to have the promotion only apply to new customers. When you check the selection you will be able to set a number of days since their first purchase to still consider them as a new customer.

  12. The Date Range selection allows you to set a time range for the promotion to be active. Use the calendar menus to set the dates you want the promotion to run.

    1. The first option is All Products Excluding Specific Products. This will change the tab to Excluded Products. You will then set only the products you do not want to
      be part of the promotion. You will then hit the add button on the excluded
      products tab to set which products to exclude.

    4. The fourth option is Selected Categories. This changes the next tab to Included Categories. Clicking Add on that tab lets you add categories of products to the promotion.

       

    5. The last option is Selected Categories Excluding Specific Products. Choosing this will change the tab to Included Categories and add another tab called Excluded Products. You will use the Included Categories tab to add the categories you want on the promotion with the Add button. Then on the Excluded Products tab you set products within the categories to be excluded with the Add button.


      When selecting a category you will get a Select Category window where you can select one or more categories and then click the Select button to add them to the promotion.


      When selecting products you will get an Add Product window where you will search for products and when found you can add one or more products at a time. Click the Add Selected button after highlighting the products you want to add. If you have the Add another checkbox checked you will then be able to search for more and keep adding what you want to the list of selected products to include or exclude.
