Applying Promotions on Line Items in the Cart
Of the two options available to apply promotions, you can apply the promo code on the cart page (PULL) or CPQ applies the promotion once your criteria are met (PUSH).
- PULL promotion: You can manually view the available promo codes and apply one or more promo codes to your line item (product level) and to the entire cart.
- PUSH promotion: This type of promotion is applied to your line items (products) or to your entire cart when the entry criteria for the promotion are met for the selected products and the entire cart. CPQ automatically updates your pricing for respective products or cart, depending on the promotion applied.
To manually apply a promo code to the shopping cart
You must have a cart that contains products to which you can apply promo codes. CPQ enables you to apply or remove promotions or coupons on line items individually or on multiple line items together (mass application). If there are line items with $0 price but eligible for promotions, CPQ populates incentive codes for those line items. Promotions and coupon applications must be mutually exclusive.
After coupons are generated from a promotion, the Apply Promotions dialog box does not list the promotion. This forces the user to enter the coupon code to apply coupons instead. Only coupons that have not reached the usage limits are displayed. When the user enters a coupon, it is stored on the Product Configuration object under the Coupon Code field.
The Apply Promotions and Remove Promotions buttons are visible only when you select line items.
Applying Promotions or Coupons
You can click Apply Promotions on Totals to apply promotions to the total amount on the cart.
Removing Promotions or Coupons
The pricing on the cart is updated automatically to include the benefits of the promotions you apply. The Incentive Adjustment Amount denotes the adjustment amount that is applied using the promo code.
After applying promotions on your cart, you can now proceed to add more products or save and finalize the cart.
