You can globally exclude products from all promotions, without configuring excluded products for every promotion. You can then individually choose whether you want globally excluded products to qualify for a promotion, by setting the Disable Global Excluded Product flag. Global exclusions are enabled by default for new promotions.
For example, you globally excluded Product-1. A shopper has the following in their cart:
| SKU | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Product-1 | 1 | $10 |
| Product-2 | 1 | $50 |
| Product-3 | 1 | $40 |
You configured the product promotion, Get 10% on any product.
Keep in mind, when global exclusions are enabled:
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 and get a 10% discount on qualifying products, excluded products aren't counted.
| SKU | Price |
|---|---|
| Product-1 | $50 |
| Product-2 (excluded) | $10 |
| Product-3 | $40 |
The shopper doesn't receive the promotion because the total isn't $100 or more with the $10 excluded.
Globally excluded products don't contribute to the merchandise total for shipping promotions based on amount of qualifying products. They also don’t count toward promotions based on number of qualifying products.
