Best practices

These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimise your promotion data for performance.

This attribute should be used when the promotion applies to a subset (but not all) of the items in a category, type or brand, and the specific item IDs are not known.

Examples

Promotion data for a sale that marks 10% off of everything, except jewellery
Attribute	Value
Promotion ID `[promotion_id]`	`mothers_day_ten_percent_off_sale`
Promotion title `[long_title]`	Mother's Day 10% off sale
Promotion tags `[promotion_tags]`	`Clothing & Accessories> Jewellery > Rings`
