Globally Excluded Products

You can exclude products from product, order, and shipping promotions within each promotion individually. You can also exclude products from all promotions globally, which lets you prevent discounts on low margin products, for example, without having to configure this for every promotion.

For example, a merchant globally excluded Product-1. A customer has the following in their cart:

SKU	Quantity	Price
Product-1	1	$10
Product-2	1	$50
Product-3	1	$40

The merchant has configured the product promotion 10%OffOnAny, Get 10% on any product.

When the Disable Global Excluded Products flag is off for 10%OffOnAny, this promotion applies to Product-2 and Product-3, but not Product-1.
When the Disable Global Excluded Products flag is on for 10%OffOnAny, this promotion applies to all products in the cart.

These are some considerations:

Products that match the global product exclusions rule can't be a qualifying or discounted product for a product promotion, unless global exclusions are disabled for the promotion.
Products that match the global product exclusions rule must be excluded from order promotions, unless global exclusions are disabled for the promotion.
Though you can't exclude products from shipment-level shipping promotions, a product-level shipping promotion is a product promotion, to which global rules can apply.

Note: Individual promotions can override this setting and disable the global exclusions.

Merchandise Total

Product exclusions, whether global or individual, don't count toward the merchandise total used to trigger a promotion. For example, with the following promotion, Spend $100 get a 10% discount on qualifying products, excluded products are not counted.

SKU	Price
Product-1	$50
Product-2 (excluded)	$10
Product-3	$40

The customer doesn't receive the promotion because the total isn't $100 or more with the $10 excluded.

Globally excluded products don't contribute toward the merchandise total for shipping promotions based on amount of qualifying products, for example, Spend $100 and get free ground shipping; nor do they count toward promotions based on number of qualifying products, for example, buy 3 products in specific category and get free ground shipping.
