# Advanced Promotion Examples

When you’ve familiarized yourself with the basics of creating a promotion, here are a few ways to customize them.

## Add More Discount Targets

A promotion can target a single category or include multiple product discounts. For example, “Spend $50, get $10 off product X or $10 off product Y” or “Spend $50, get $10 off category Z.”

To target multiple categories for a discount, set up multiple promotions, one for each category. For example, in this promotion, “Spend $150, get $10 off category Z and D”, set up separate promotions in the Z and D categories.

## Add More Qualifiers

Multiple qualifiers can make a promotion more flexible or more restrictive, depending on your qualifier criteria. If a customer must meet only one qualifier, select **Any**. To require that a customer meets every qualifier to receive the promotion, select **All**.

## Apply Quantity or Cart Limits

To restrict the number of times a product can receive a promotion, in the discount settings, enter the quantity limit. To restrict the number of times a promotion can apply to a cart, in the promotion details, enter a maximum application per cart. To create more sophisticated promotions, combine these limits. To require that a customer meets the quantity limit before receiving the discount, select **Apply discount only when a cart reaches the quantity limit**.

## Create a Basic BOGO Promotion Deal

To offer a buy-one-get-one (BOGO) deal, use the same product or product category as your discount and qualifier. Because the customer must buy a product at full price to receive the discount on an additional product, in the promotion details, select **Exclude qualifying items from discounts**.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-comm-264-0-0-production-enus/d863e308-482a-4dfa-8d20-2a94737d394a/images/icon_example.png)

Example You want to require that a customer buys an item from the Baseball Cap category or an item from the T-shirt category to receive one free pair of athletic socks. The offer can be redeemed only one time per order. To configure this scenario:

- Add a qualifier for both categories.
- In the discount details, enter a quantity limit of 1.
- In the promotion details, set the qualifier criteria to **Any**.
- In the promotion details, enter a Maximum Applications Per Cart value of 1.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-comm-264-0-0-production-enus/d863e308-482a-4dfa-8d20-2a94737d394a/images/icon_example.png)

Example You want to create a modified BOGO deal that offers customers 50% off two bags of Alpine Medium Roast Coffee for every five bags of that same coffee that they purchase. The customer must buy two additional bags, for a total of seven bags, to receive the discount. To configure this scenario:

- Add a qualifier for Alpine Medium Roast Coffee, and enter a minimum quantity of 5.
- Add a discount for Alpine Medium Roast Coffee.
- In the discount details, enter a quantity limit of 2, and select **Apply discount only when a cart reaches the quantity limit**.
- In the promotion details, select **Exclude qualifying items from discount**.

## Create Advanced BOGO Promotion Deals

Sometimes merchants or manufacturers require that a discounted item can’t cost more than the least-expensive qualifying item.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-comm-264-0-0-production-enus/d863e308-482a-4dfa-8d20-2a94737d394a/images/icon_example.png)

Example You want to create a modified BOGO deal that offers customers 50% off a pair of pants when they purchase a shirt. However, the pants must cost less than the shirt.

- Create your promotion, and set the discount restriction to **Limit by Least Expensive Qualifying Product**.
- Add a promotion qualifier.
    - Qualifier: Category > Shirt
    - Qualifier Type: Product category
    - Minimum Quantity: 1
- Add a discount target.
    - Target: Category > Pants
    - Target Type: Product category
    - Adjustment Type: Percentage Discount
    - Adjustment Percent: 50
    - Quantity Limit: 1

By default, the most expensive items are discounted first, followed by the less expensive items. You can reverse this strategy and discount the least-expensive items first.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-comm-264-0-0-production-enus/d863e308-482a-4dfa-8d20-2a94737d394a/images/icon_example.png)

Example You want to create a modified BOGO deal that offers customers a free pair of pants when they buy a shirt. If they have two pairs of pants in the cart, the least-expensive pants are free.

- Create your promotion, and set the discount order to **Least Expensive**.
- Add a promotion qualifier.
    - Qualifier: Category > Shirt
    - Qualifier Type: Product category
    - Minimum Quantity: 1
- Add a discount target.
    - Target: Category > Pants
    - Target Type: Product category
    - Adjustment Type: Percentage Discount
    - Adjustment Percent: 100
    - Quantity Limit: 1

You can create a multiple-discount promotion that requires all discount types to be met before the promotion is applied.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-comm-264-0-0-production-enus/d863e308-482a-4dfa-8d20-2a94737d394a/images/icon_example.png)

Example You want to create a modified BOGO deal that gives the customer two discounts. If they buy a shirt, they can get a pair of pants at 50% off and $10 off a pair of shoes. All three items must be in the cart before the promotion applies.

- Create your promotion, and set the target criteria to **All**.
- Add a promotion qualifier.
    - Qualifier: Category > Shirt
    - Qualifier Type: Product category
    - Minimum Quantity: 1
- Add a discount target.
    - Target: Product > Pants
    - Target Type: Product
    - Adjustment Type: Percentage Discount
    - Adjustment Percent: 50
    - Quantity Limit: 1
- Add another discount target.
    - Target: Product > Shoes
    - Target Type: Product
    - Adjustment Type: Fixed Amount Off Unit Price
    - Adjustment Percent: 10
    - Quantity Limit: 1
