Promotions & Reward Offers Promotions and Rewards Offers can co-exist for Orders, meaning that if a Contact is eligible for both a Promotion and a Reward Offer, then they will receive both. Example: A Business configures a Promotion offer for 10% discount on the cart total basket amount, and also has a standard 10% cashback Reward Offer. If a Contact (who is eligible for both) places an order, the 10% Promotion discount will be applied instantly to the basket, and when the Purchase Event is created the Contact will receive a 10% cashback on the discounted amount. |
