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.
10%OffOnAny,
this promotion applies to Product-2 and
Product-3, but not Product-1. 10%OffOnAny,
this promotion applies to all products
in the cart.These are some considerations:
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.
