Overview

The Promotions microservice (“Promotions”) allows Marketing Managers to create and manage promotion groups and promotions. As with all microservices in the Infosys Equinox Commerce solution, promotion groups and promotions are associated with a store managed by the Store microservice.

A core component of Promotions is the embedded drools rule engine which executes business rules at scale, to evaluate for active promotions (See https://www.drools.org/ for details about drools by Red Hat, Inc.). For example, when rule conditions match, the engine fires responses that return data to the Storefront, to execute an action (like applying a discount to an item in the cart).

Promotions provides a flexible rules-based approach to manage your promotions workflow and thus supports a wide range of client use cases. You can define rule patterns based on a range of expressions consisting of various logical operators and data models that represent product information, user data, shipment type, location, payment or any custom-defined fields. The models can be extended to meet your needs that may not be supported out of the box. Contact your Account Manager for more information about extending models and creating custom actions.

For a detailed overview of the Promotions microservice, see the Promotions Microservice Overview.

Service Glossary

  • Business – the parent of a store or set of stores. The basic use of a business is to manage common sets of users, catalogs, and other services for the stores associated with the business.
  • Business Admin – a role that manages business settings, creates and manages stores, and enables microservice(s) for a business.
  • Lists – create custom lists for use in promotions (e.g. issue discounts to a list of users identified by their email address). List creation and use DO NOT require the workflow approval process.
  • Omni-channel – a multichannel approach to sales that seeks to provide consumers with a seamless shopping experience, whether shopping online (on a desktop, a mobile, or a tablet device), by telephone, or in person at a physical store (https://searchcio.techtarget.com/definition/omnichannel).
  • Product – a good, service, or idea that has a combination of tangible and intangible attributes and can have multiple variants which are referred to as stock-keeping units (SKUs). In Infosys Equinox Commerce, the consumer or buyer evaluates a product (for example, a men’s dress shoe available in black and brown and sizes from 10 to 15), but actually purchases an SKU associated with the product (for example, a black-colored version of the dress shoe in size 12) rather than the product itself.
  • Promotion Codes – activate promotions that have not been configured to auto-apply. The Codes can be created manually or be generated by the Promotion microservice. Promotion Code creation and use do NOT require the workflow approval process.
  • Promotion Editor – defines and manages offers and discounts for consumers or buyers on the Commerce site and submits them to the Marketing Manager for approval.
  • Purchase Order (PO) – indicates the official order issued by a buyer to a seller on the agreed product or services.
  • Marketing Manager – creates, manages, and approves promotions.
  • Model – describes the context of a promotion or offer type (for example, stock-keeping unit (SKU), Cart, Payment, User, Store, or Cookie).
  • Project – a container or wrapper entity to hold changes made to a promotion group or promotion. New and updated pricing should pass through the Project approval workflow process before it is reflected in a store’s promotions.
  • Project Notes – comments entered by Project Editor or Approver to add context to project actions.
  • Project Workflows – make business processes more efficient by managing and tracking the human tasks involved with a process and then providing a record of that process when it completes.
  • Promotion – offers presented to consumers or buyers in a client’s Storefront and Apps.
  • Promotion Group – container for individual promotions that are grouped logically based on an event or marketing campaign. The creation of a Promotion Group is required and should be defined before a Promotion can be created.
  • Rules Engine – an environment that provides a flexible definition of business rules such as promotions.
  • Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) – a particular variant of a product that is available for purchase by a consumer or buyer.
  • Store – represents a specific physical location or online store of a business.
  • Store Manager – associates a price list for each currency supported by a store.
  • Storefront – a consumer-facing website that presents products, content, and promotions across multiple channels such as desktop, tablet, and mobile.

You can associate the promotion to any promotion group within the same store, any other store or across stores. This avoids recreating a promotion completely, thus saving time. Once cloned, you can make necessary changes except to ‘Offer On’ and ‘Offer Type’ where the existing values will be retained. In the General page, you can edit the conditions and generate promo codes if required.

For steps on cloning an existing promotion, see the section How to Clone a Promotion.

Managing Project Approval Workflow

A project approval workflow defines a sequence of states and transitions through which a promotions group and/or promotions pass-through for approval.

An active and approved promotion offers will become live in the storefront.
