Getting Started With Promotions
Campaign Overview
The very first page of the promotions app provides you with an overview of the campaigns. Over here you are able to:
- create and delete campaigns;
- prioritize campaigns (which can influence the way promotions are applied);
Campaign Statuses
A campaign can have 4 statuses:
- Active - the campaign is currently running
- Paused - the campaign is paused even though the dates are present
- Upcoming - the campaign will start running when the start date kicks in
- Ended - the campaign has ended and is inactive
Managing A Campaign
The first section presents basic information about the campaign:
- which stores it runs in
- start and end date/time
- and the action of manually disabling the campaign, which makes its status paused
Below you have the list of promotions:
