Allow Multiple Promotion Codes
Summary
The Allow Multiple Promotion Codes setting allows institutions to have greater control over how promotion codes are applied during checkout and gives Catalog admins the ability to enable or restrict the use of multiple promotion codes per transaction at the subcatalog level.
Note: If this setting is not explicitly defined for a subcatalog, it will inherit the setting from the parent catalog.
Change Benefit
This update provides institutions with more flexible discounting controls, allowing them to better enforce pricing policies without requiring custom engineering support.
Feature Workflow
In the Catalog Info page, admins can decide to leave the Allow Multiple Promotion Codes setting on or turn it off.
View Allow Multiple Promotions Code Setting
The Allow Multiple Promotions Code setting is defaulted to Yes which allows users to apply multiple promotion codes during a single checkout.
When the Allow Multiple Promotions Code settings is set to No, users can apply only one promotion code per checkout, the user interface displays a single input field for promo codes, and if multiple codes are entered, only the first will be applied.
To update the setting, click the Save button.
