  2. To create a new promotion, click Add promotion .

  3. In the General Settings tab you need to specify all the main details of your promotion and most importantly – set the priority of your promotion. Simply remember that the higher the number the higher the priority. Define conditions under which the promotion will work:

    • Name your promotion and try to keep it simple.
    • Add a Description (optional).
    • Set Priority - Promotions with higher priorities will be applied first. Example: if you set different, but similar promotions, like injecting different banners in the same position, the promotion with priority number 3 will replace the banner with the same priority depending on the date it was added. If you’ve added a promotion with priority 3 yesterday, the promotion with priority 3 from today will replace the one from yesterday.
    • Select the Status - set status to Enabled for active promotions and Disabled if you’d like to pause or terminate a promotion before scheduled expiry.
    • Active from - Active to - Set the time frame within which your promotion will be active.

Target specific users or groups

To Target specific users or groups choose between several options: All, Logged in, Not logged in. You can also specify the time of last login, which is higher/lower than a certain number of days ( 3 days). If you do not want to limit your promotion, just select All.

Redirect user

To Redirect users to a different website or homepage, enter the URL. This will help you to redirect specific and targeted users and segment them according to their previous shopping journeys. It is a great tool for dividing high-end customers or customers with specific requirements.

Note: Never set a redirect URL for the checkout page as this would create an infinite loop of redirects and customers would never be able to finish their shopping. Make sure you do this for each language in case you have a multilingual online shop. Redirection will happen every time.
