You can configure many of the promotion settings as site 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.

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. |
