Note: Contact your Account Manager to enable promotions.
Q: Where do I create and manage promotions?
A: If enabled, Brand Admins can navigate to Settings > Brand Admin > Promotions > Manage promotions.
Q: Does a tiered promotion count as one or the number of tiers?
Example: $1-$1000 order = 3% off, $1001-$2000 = 5% off, etc. Is this configured as 1 or 2 promotions inside of NuOrder’s promotion manager?
A: Each tier is a separate promotion. The discount is the main distinction between promotions. You can have multiple qualifiers for a promotion, but you can only have one discount per promotion. See Create and edit Promotions for a video showing you how to set up an example series of product promotions, each with an increased percentage off with the more the buyer purchases.
Q: What types of promotions are available?
A: Promotions can be configured at the Order or Product level, with select criteria for each promotion type. The discount can be a Percentage Off or an Amount Off.
Q: What are some commonly configured promotions?
A: Check out these example selections:
| Order promotion types | Selections |
| % off an order | 10% off (or 20% off) of orders. |
| % off an order on qualifying amount | 10% off (or 20% off) of $200 orders. |
| $ amount off an order | $10 off of $100 orders. $15 off of $200 orders. |
| Product promotion types | Selections |
| % amount off the subtotal of entries | Buy products from a specific category to get 10% off of the item subtotal. |
| $ amount off the subtotal of entries | Buy products from a specific category to get $10 off of the item subtotal. |
| $ amount off individual entries | Buy products from a specific category to get $10 off each item. |
Q: Can promotions vary by customer or be offered to specific customers only? Can promotions vary by Customer Group? Where is this managed?
A: Yes. When configuring a promotion, you can use the Audience section to select:
- All Customers (default): Choose this option to apply the promotion to all customers.
-
Companies: Select one or more company contacts.
- Tip: Use the Search field to locate companies by name.
- Customer Groups: Select one, multiple, or all customer groups.
Q: Can I get the promotional discount if my order is split into multiple orders?
A: Yes. You still receive the promotional discount if your submitted order qualifies for a promotion, and it splits into multiple orders. See Promotions on Split Orders.
Q: Can I see promotion information on exported orders?
A: Yes. Brand admins can configure two types of order exports to display promotion information for a single order or multiple orders. For more information, see Promotions on order exports.
Q: Can I see which orders have an applied promotion?
A: Yes. From the left navigation menu, go to Orders. Enter the promotion name in the Promotion filter to refine the list to only orders with that promotion.
Q: What happens when an order or product qualifies for more than one promotion or discount?
A: When an order or product is eligible for multiple promotions, all applicable promotional discounts are applied. Additional discounts, such as a company discount, are also applied. Discounts are stacked in the following order: company-level, product-level, and then promotion-level. Example for a $100 product that qualifies for each:
- Company-level (10%) discount: $100 * 10% = $10 off. $90 discounted wholesale.
- Product-level (10%) discount: $90 * 10% = $9 off. $81 discounted wholesale.
- Promotion-level (10% discount): $81 * 10% = $8.10 off. $72.90 final discounted wholesale.
Q: Do promotional discounts appear on placed orders?
A: Yes. When reviewing a placed order (standard or EZ Order) from the Order Details page, PDF, or email, the Price Adjustments menu includes a list of discounts (promotional, company, or manual).
Q: When filtering by promotion name, does the search look for orders with all of the order promotion names or just one?
A: The promotion name filter uses “OR” logic, looking for orders with any of the entered promotion name(s). For example, a search for promotion names Promotion A, Promotion B, or Promotion C will display any order with one of the specified promotion names.
Q: What happens to a Promotion if I make edits from my ERP?
A: When using your ERP to push updates to an order in NuORDER:
- Qualifying promotions will not be removed, even if they’re no longer active Promotions in NuORDER.
- New Promotions will not be added, so the order in your ERP and in NuORDER remain in sync.
Q: Can brands set up one-off promo codes, so buyers can enter these instead of built-in promotions for all buyers? Can brands set these up and give out to select buyers similar to how B2C promo codes work?
A: Coupon codes are not currently included in promotions. If your band has a business need for coupon codes that you would like to share with our Product team, please contact our Support team regarding this Improvement Request.
Q: Can brands set up BoGo or Buy X Get Y promotions in NuOrder?
A: The ability to create BoGo or Buy X Get Y promotions are not currently included in promotions. If your band has a business need for coupon codes that you would like to share with our Product team, please contact our Support team regarding this Improvement Request.
Q: Do custom product schema fields need to be searchable to be used as an eligibility rule for a promotion?
A: No.
