Set Up a Buy 1 Get 1 Free Promotion

This guide explains how to create and configure promotions in Shortcuts, enabling businesses to offer specials and benefits such as "Buy One, Get One Free" deals.

Step 1: Configure Promotion Details

Head to Setup > Promotions in Shortcuts

Define the basic parameters for your promotion:

  • Name: Clearly label the promotion for easy identification.

  • Target Audience: Specify whether the promotion is available to everyone, club members, or specific groups.

  • Availability Dates: Set start and end dates using the calendar tool to ensure accurate timing.

Example: Create a "Buy One Lip Liner, Get One Gloss Free" promotion available to all customers until the end of the month.


Step 2: Define Eligibility Criteria

Determine the conditions that make customers eligible for the promotion:

  • Eligibility Options: Choose from predefined options, such as specific products, categories, or spending thresholds.

  • Product Selection: Select eligible items by navigating through categories or choosing individual products.

Example: Select "Lip Liners" from the category menu to make them the qualifying purchase for the promotion.


Step 3: Set Promotion Benefits

Specify what the customer will receive as part of the promotion:

  • Benefit Type: Choose options like discounts on specific items or entire sales.

  • Product Selection: Pick the item(s) customers will receive as a benefit.

  • Discount Rate: Apply a percentage discount (e.g., 100% for a free item).

Example: Assign the gloss as the reward item with a 100% discount when purchasing a lip liner.


Finalizing and Testing the Promotion

    • Review discounts by clicking on the discount tile.


Key Takeaways
