Everything Green Special

When to use this

Use this template when you want to spotlight items with a particular product attribute value – here, anything where the Colour attribute is green. It's the same pattern you'd use for a "blue items week", an "organic-cotton-only sale", or any other custom-attribute-driven flash promotion.

How it works

This is an Item Group promotion that matches against a custom product attribute. A few pieces of the configuration do the actual work:

• Item Group conditions – the promotion matches any product whose Colour attribute equals green. With Quantity set to 1, each matching item forms its own item group.
• Percentage action – a flat 25% discount is applied to each matched item group. The Batch Limit is 0, so every green item in the cart receives the discount.
• High priority + Stop after-processing action – the promotion runs early in the evaluation order, and once it applies it prevents further non-Whole Cart (Final) promotions from being processed for the cart. Use this when the green-items deal should be the primary promotion the customer receives.

For this to work, your project's catalogue needs a Colour attribute (or whichever attribute you're matching on). See Attributes for how to define one if you haven't already. For the underlying concepts see Trigger Conditions, Item Groups, and Promotion Action in Creating a Promotion.

Step-by-step setup

1. From your Deducto Dashboard, open the promotions list for your project and click New.
2. Choose Item Group as the promotion type.
3. On the General Information tab, set the name, schedule, and behaviour. The full set of values is in the field reference below.
4. On the Trigger Conditions tab, leave the conditions empty.
5. On the Item Groups tab, configure the default group:
   • Name it Green Item.
   • Set Quantity to 1.
   • Add one condition: select Colour as the attribute, set the operator to equals (or is one of if Colour is configured as a Membership-type attribute), and enter the value green.
6. On the Action tab, choose Apply A Percentage Discount to Item Group(s), set Percent to 25, and check the Green Item group under Target Item Groups. Leave all the limits at 0.
7. Click Save.

Variations

• Different attribute or value. Swap Colour/green for any other custom attribute and value combination (e.g. Material equals Organic Cotton).
• Different discount amount. Adjust Percent on the Action tab.
• Multi-day window. Change Start and End to cover a longer period instead of a single day.
• Don't stop other promotions. If the green-items deal should sit alongside other discounts, set After Processing Action to Continue.
• Cap total discount. Set Maximum Discount Amount on the Action tab.

Testing

1. Add a green item to your cart and confirm the 25% discount appears.
2. Add multiple green items and confirm each receives the discount.
3. Add a non-green item alongside and confirm it does not receive the discount.
4. (Only if After Processing Action stays at Stop.) Add another, lower-priority promotion that would otherwise apply, and confirm it doesn't trigger when the green-items promotion fires.
