Promotions can be added to your Merchant account by accessing your Admin Dashboard account at admin.getshopwave.com.
A promotion can apply to a select number of stores for a specific set of days over a given time period. Many promotions can be added and exist together side by side.
Adding a Promotion
Once you have logged in with your credentials, follow these steps to add a new promotion:
Click on Promotions
Click on '+New' button at the top left of the screen.
Customise your promotion.
1 - Is Automatic?
Tick if if the promotion in question is going to be able to be applied automatically at checkout. If not, then the merchant will have to select it manually in order to apply it at the point of sale.
2 - Available Types
When building a promotion you are able to choose a type, which will define how the promotion is activated over the products in a basket.
Meal Deal
This allows you to offer discounts to products when grouped together and purchased at once. An example of this is when going to buy a main, side, and drink and consequently leading to a "meal deal" specialised price. Create a new line for each product group and provide a quantity and total price.
Combo
This is perfect when you would like to offer a "3 for 2" style promotion. Simply choose a selection of applicable products and the values for "3" and "2" respectively.
Percentage
This is the simplest promotion type. It offers a percentage discount over the listed matching products or categories. List these in the boxes provided and choose a percentage.
3 - Select Start and End dates
4 - You can select which days the promotion is available.
5 - You can select the stores where the promotion will be available.
6 - You can add any terms i.e. not to be used in conjunction with any other offers.
Removing or Expiring Promotions
Once you have logged into the Admin Dashboard with your credentials, navigate to 'Promotions' to see a list of your current promotions.
Once there, find the promotion you would like to expire and click on it to edit.
Modify the expiry date to a past time to expire the promotion.
Click 'save' and you are done.
