Featured Item

When to use this

Use this template when you want to set a fixed sale price on one specific product (or a hand-picked list of products) – for example "this jacket, $199.99 for July only". This is a hard price override, not a discount-from-RRP: the customer sees the fixed price regardless of the product's normal price.

How it works

This is an Item Group promotion that targets specific products by ID and applies a fixed total price. The configuration has a few moving parts:

• Item Group conditions – the promotion matches any product whose Product ID is in your nominated list. With Quantity set to 1, each matched product forms its own item group.
• Fixed Total Price action – sets the item group's price to a single value (e.g. 199.99). Unlike a percentage discount, this doesn't care what the product's original price was.
• Batch Limit: 1 – only one item group will be discounted per cart, so a customer can't grab three featured jackets at $199.99 each. Adjust this if you want a different cap.
• After Processing Action: Exclusive – exclusive promotions run before non-exclusive ones, and once this one applies, no further non-Whole Cart (Final) promotions are processed for the cart. Use this when the featured-item price should be the customer's primary offer.

For the underlying concepts see Trigger Conditions, Item Groups, and Promotion Action in Creating a Promotion. For background on the Exclusive flag see Understanding the Promotion Evaluation Process.

If your project has a search integration set up, the Entity Searcher is the fastest way to pick the products to feature – you can search by name, description, or price and the IDs are filled in for you. Otherwise use Bulk Add to paste in the product IDs directly.

Why Product ID instead of a category or tag?

Product-ID-based selection gives you precise control – only the products you list are affected, with no risk of an unrelated item slipping in because someone happened to retag it. The trade-off is maintenance: if you want to swap the featured item, you have to come back and edit the list.

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 Featured Jacket.
   • Set Quantity to 1.
   • Add one condition: select Product ID as the attribute, choose is one of, then either use the Entity Searcher to pick the products (if you have a search integration), or use Bulk Add to enter the product IDs directly.
6. On the Action tab, choose Apply a Fixed Total Price for Item Group(s), set Fixed Price to 199.99, set Batch Limit to 1, and check the Featured Jacket group under Target Item Groups. Leave the rest of the limits at 0.
7. Click Save.

Variations

• Different fixed price. Adjust Fixed Price on the Action tab.
• Allow multiple at the fixed price. Increase Batch Limit (e.g. set to 2 to allow two units at the special price), or set it to 0 for unlimited.
• Feature several products at the same price. Add more product IDs to the item group's Product ID condition. Each product forms its own batch.
• Don't crowd out other promotions. If you'd prefer the featured-item price to sit alongside other discounts, change After Processing Action to Continue and reconsider whether Lock Affected Items should stay Yes.

Testing

1. Add a featured jacket to your cart and confirm the price is set to $199.99.
2. Add a second featured jacket and confirm only one receives the fixed price (the second remains at full price).
3. Add a non-featured item alongside and confirm its price is unchanged.
4. Add an item that would otherwise be eligible for another promotion and confirm that promotion does not apply (because the featured-item promotion is Exclusive).
