Application Method
In this document, you'll learn what an application method is.
What is an Application Method?#
The ApplicationMethod data model defines how a promotion is applied:
Property | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Does the promotion discount a fixed amount or a percentage? |
| Is the promotion applied on a cart item, shipping method, or the entire order? |
| Is the discounted amount applied on each item or split between the applicable items? |
Target Promotion Rules#
When the promotion is applied to a cart item or a shipping method, you can restrict which items/shipping methods the promotion is applied to.
The ApplicationMethod data model has a collection of PromotionRule records to restrict which items or shipping methods the promotion applies to. The target_rules property represents this relation.
In this example, the promotion is only applied on products in the cart having the SKU SHIRT.
Buy Promotion Rules#
When the promotion’s type is buyget, you must specify the “buy X” condition. For example, a cart must have two shirts before the promotion can be applied.
The application method has a collection of PromotionRule items to define the “buy X” rule. The buy_rules property represents this relation.
In this example, the cart must have two products with the SKU SHIRT for the promotion to be applied.
