I would like to try some promotions, but it doesn’t seem to be working for me the way I want.
I want to have a promotion of “Buy 5 get 20% Off”
and I have 2 items I would like to apply this promotion to.
However what is the difference between the options:
At Least this Quantity of items
For Every Quantity of Item Purchased
I ran a promo testing both of these and they appear to do the same thing.
I tried a Buy 3 Get 15% off.
Though I wanted to do a buy 3 of “that” item promo, it showed as buy 3 items get 15% off
Which worked out to
1 piece of 3 different items,
or 3 pieces of the same item,
or 2 pieces of one & 1 piece of another
What am I doing wrong or is it not possible to simply do BUY 5 of THIS items get 20% off?
May I ask if you’ve tried the opposite of what’s shown in your screenshot - i.e., setting the “Buyer purchase” field to 5, & the “Buyer benefit applies to a quantity of” field to 1?
If you want it to be just one item for that 20% off, then it should be the only SKU involved with the promo. To do two items with that same promo, you would need to set up two promos … one promo per SKU.
If you have more than one SKU listed on the promo, then the promo becomes a mix and match of those SKUs to obtain the 20% off.
So odd that the system can’t handle a simple per item promo that you then assign sku’s to it.
I see Amazon can do it for the items they ship..
Discounts Funded by Amazon: This promotional discount applies to products that are shipped by Amazon when customers buy multiple units of a single product during a single order.*
On this image, the Buyer Purchases “For every quantity of items purchased” would be 5.
Limit the Purchased Items “Sku List” to just one SKU
Then when you put in 5 for Buyer benefit applies to a quantity of , the 20% off will apply to when a customer buys 5 items of that one SKU.
You could use the duplicate add feature to add another promo for another the SKU and only have to change to SKU in the set up.
But before trying above, do this …
Check the drop down for Buyer purchases. If it has a selection that states “For every quantity of a SKU purchased”, then that would be the selection to do more than one SKU on the promo and keep the purchase as 5 of one SKU gets the 20% off.
