For example, a shopper uses a source code that triggers a special price book. The shopper also qualifies for a 20% Off promotion. Restrict the promotion so that it doesn't apply to products already discounted in the price book. Price book restrictions are a condition type that can define: - Qualifying and discounted products for product promotions - Qualifying and excluded products for shipping promotions - Excluded products for order promotions Salesforce B2C Commerce evaluates where the current product price—the best price of all applicable price books—comes from. The price can come from one of the price books specified in the promotion product or one of its child price books. Then B2C Commerce determines whether the product is qualifying, discounted, or included. Shipping methods also use product rules. So this condition can define [product shipping costs](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=cc.b2c_shipping_promotions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Shipping promotions discount an order's shipping charges. A shipping promotion usually applies to every shipment in an order, unless you specify a maximum application for the promotion.") and products excluded from shipping methods. Parent Price Book With a price book condition, the product qualifier or disqualifier of its price comes from that price book or any of its children's price books. Effective Periods Price books and promotions can have different effective periods. For example, run a promotion that is active until 12/31 with a price book qualifier that is active until 12/20. The promotion will not be available until 12/21. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-cc-b2c_merchandiser_administrator-264-0-0-production-enus/ea76f372-6cfa-42a6-8e7c-05c6df7abed8/images/icon_note.png) Note These conditions are staged with the promotion or shipping method in which they are used. ## Examples
Promotion Include/Exclude
20% off all televisions

Include Category = (suit)

Exclude Price Book = (SpecialPricesCANADA)
5% off your order Include Price Book = (SpecialPricesCANADA)
Example 1 Your site has the following active price book and product price per price book.
Product Price book Price
Television A

ListPrices

SalesPricesAll

SalesPricesCANADA

$600

$560

$520
Your product promotion is 20% off all men's suits. You use the price book qualifier 20% off all products in the category Men's or associated subcategories, excluding products in price book SalesPriceCANADA. The following occurs for two different shoppers:
Shopper Applicable price books Price book Price
US

ListPrices

SalesPricesAll

 SalesPriceAll $448 (20% of $560)
CAN

ListPrices

SalesPricesAll

SalesPriceCANADA

 SalesPriceCANADA $520 (no 20% discount)
No discount applies for the Canadian shopper because the product price comes from price book SalesPriceCANADA, and the promotion rule excludes products in this price book. Example 2 Your site has these are the active price books and the product prices per price book.
Product Price book Price
Television A

ListPrices

SalesPricesAll

SalesPricesCANADA

$600

$560

$520
Sofa ListPrices $1,699
In this example, the shopper is from Canada. The order promotion is 5% off your order. You use the price book qualifier 5% off the total order value, excluding products in price book SpecialPricesCANADA. The following occurs:
Applicable price books Shopping cart Price Discount
ListPrices Sofa $1,699 $84.95

ListPrices

SalesPricesAll

SalesPriceCAN

 Television A $520.00  
  Merchandise total $2,219.00  
  Final order price $2,134.05 5% off $1,699
In this case, there is a 5% discount off the sofa, using the ListPrices price book. This discount doesn’t apply to the television because its price comes from the SalesPriceCANADA price book, an excluded price book. #### See Also - [Configure Promotion Preferences for B2C Commerce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=cc.b2c_configuring_promotion_preferences.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Configure many of the promotion settings as site preferences, giving you much flexibility in how your promotions are handled.
