How Do I Define What Constitutes A Promo Order?

Discounts vs Promotions

Many sellers wish to classify minor promotions as mere discounts rather than promotions. For example, some sellers qualify promotions of 10% or less as Discounts, and anything above that as Promotions.

SellerLegend allows you to make this distinction using configurable discount thresholds.

How Promo Orders Are Calculated

SellerLegend considers a sale as a Promo Sale only when the discount percentage exceeds either the Default Discount Threshold or the Product Discount Threshold (if one exists).

The formula is:

Promo% = Discount Amount / Item Price

If Promo% >= Product Discount Threshold (if set)
   otherwise >= Default Discount Threshold
   → marked as promo unit

Default Discount Threshold

The Default Discount Threshold applies to all products that do not have a product-specific override.

Access via: Sales → Orders → Miscellaneous Settings

• The out-of-the-box default threshold is set at 50%
• Percentages are expressed in decimal notation (0.5 = 50%, 0.4 = 40%)

Product-Specific Discount Threshold

You can override the default threshold for individual products. If a Product Discount Threshold exists for a product, it overrides the Default Discount Threshold.

Access via the product's Miscellaneous Settings tab.

Subscribe And Save Discounts

Whether Subscribe and Save sales are considered promotions depends on the percentage discount offered and the thresholds set either by default or by product.

Important Note

WARNING

Changes to the discount threshold do not affect the Promo Amount field. The Promo Amount is always the sum total of promotion discount amounts for all units sold, regardless of whether SellerLegend classifies them as promo units or not.
