Create a promotion campaign with an optional schedule and budget.

gift_card_recipient_setCopy Anchor Link

Change the address a gift card goes to, and optionally email it there now.

}

promotion_createCopy Anchor Link

Create a coupon code or automatic promotion.

application_method.type is percentage or fixed; target_type is items (cart lines), order or shipping_methods; allocation (each, across or once) applies to items only. fixed amounts need currency_code and are in the major unit. Buy-get promotions need buy_rules, buy_rules_min_quantity and apply_to_quantity. status defaults to draft, so nothing applies until it is set to active with promotion_update. Automatic promotions apply without a code and cannot have a usage limit. rules are the order-level conditions (e.g. customer group, region). Extra eligibility rules (minimum subtotal, schedule, customers) come from promotion_restrictions_set.

• Action key: promotion.create
• Permission: promotions.write
• Approval: Waits for approval when the store requires it for this action.
• Effect: Changes the live store.
• Retries: runs at most once; a repeat with the same idempotency key returns the first result.

Example input:

{
  "code": "SPRING10",
  "type": "standard",
  "status": "draft",
  "application_method": {
    "type": "percentage",
    "target_type": "order",
    "value": 10
  }
}

promotion_restrictions_setCopy Anchor Link

Change the eligibility rules of a promotion; the parts passed replace the stored ones.

Each top-level part (items, requirement, max_subtotal, customers, checkout, schedule, combines_with) is replaced as a whole when passed and kept when omitted. Read promotion_restrictions_get first and copy the part you change from its effective document. Ids come from promotion_restriction_options_get. A refused document comes back with the issues to fix.

        "huf": 20000
      }
    }
  }
}

promotion_rules_deleteCopy Anchor Link

      ]
    }
  ]
}

promotion_updateCopy Anchor Link

Change a promotion, including turning it on or off with status.

Only the fields passed change. Setting status to active makes it apply to carts at once; inactive stops it. application_method here changes type, value, allocation and quantities, not the rules: application_method.type is percentage or fixed; target_type is items (cart lines), order or shipping_methods; allocation (each, across or once) applies to items only. fixed amounts need currency_code and are in the major unit. Buy-get promotions need buy_rules, buy_rules_min_quantity and apply_to_quantity. Rules are changed with promotion_rules_update.

• Action key: promotion.update
• Permission: promotions.write
• Approval: Waits for approval when the store requires it for this action.
• Effect: Changes the live store.
