preferences, giving you much flexibility in how your promotions are
handled. These settings include Buy X/Get Y promotion behavior, discount
precision, and how the tax basis is calculated for line items with
discounts.

Select site > Merchant Tools >
SitePreferences > Promotions.

Configure Buy X / Get Y promotion behavior.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Discount Next Most Expensive Products
(default) |
- Qualifying products are the X most expensive products
satisfying the promotion's qualifying product rule.
- Products receiving the discount are the Y next most
expensive (or same price) of the remaining products satisfying
the promotion's discounted product rule.
- Discounted items must be less expensive than related
qualifying item price.
|

-
Configure Buy X / Get Y discount eligibility.
This setting only applies to Buy X / Get Y Promotions. It
doesn't apply to Buy X and Y Get Z or other promotion types. For those
types, the Maximum price on discounted products setting always
describes the promotion discount behavior.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Maximum Price on Discounted Products
(default) |
Only products that have a price less than or equal to the
least expensive qualifying product are eligible to receive the
discount. This setting prevents the accidental creation of
promotions where the discounted product is much more valuable than
the qualifying product. |
| All Products Eligible for Discounts |
Products that satisfy the promotion discount rule are
eligible to receive the discount. This setting is only relevant
for promotions with discounted products not identical to
qualifying products. |
-
Configure price book discount behavior.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Discount Allowed To Increase Item Price
(Default) |
Discounts can increase the price of an item in the cart.
This isn't a good idea. |
| Discount Not Allowed to Increase Item Price |
Enables you to prevent Price from Price Book discounts
from increasing the price of an item in the cart. This might
happen, for example, when using two price books, and the sales
price for an item in one price book is greater than the standard
price in the other price book. |
-
Configure bonus product positioning.
This setting enables you to control where bonus products are
positioned in the cart. It only applies to product promotions with
number of qualifying products that grant a bonus product
discount.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Always at End of Cart (default) |
Bonus products are added to end of basket with a quantity
1. |
| After Qualifying Products |
Bonus products are sorted to appear after their
qualifying products, and consolidated together if their quantity
is greater than 1. |
-
Configure discount precision.
Half-up rounding is widely used in many places. It means that
half-way values, both positive and negative, are always rounded up.
For example, the value 23.5 is rounded to 24, while the value −23.5 is
rounded down to −23.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Precision of Site Currency (default) |
Discounts are calculated based on the precision of site
currency. The rounding mode is half-up. |
| No Fractions |
Discounts are always rounded to the full amount and
contain no fractions (that is, precision=0). The rounding mode is
half-up. |
-
Configure discount taxation.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Tax Products, Shipping, and Discounts Based on Price
(default) |
All line items are taxed separately using net/gross price
as tax basis. Product and shipping costs receive a positive tax,
while price adjustments receive a negative tax. |
| Tax products and Shipping Only Based on Adjusted
Price |
Price adjustments are not taxed. Instead, product line
items use prorated price and shipping line items use adjusted
price as the tax basis. Tax values are positive or zero. |
-
Configure product promotion class exclusivity.
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Discount Stacking Prevented at SKU Level
(default) |
When a product qualifies for a class exclusive promotion,
additional quantities of the same SKU are no longer eligible for
product promotions. |
| Discount Stacking Prevented at Item Level |
When a product qualifies for a class exclusive promotion,
additional quantities of the same SKU in the cart are still
eligible for product promotions. |
