# Promotions

Work with discount codes and automatic discounts in the detailed promotions list and edit their conditions.

- Where: Discounts (developer mode)
- Status: Developer mode

This page appears only when developer mode is switched on. See [Developer mode](https://docs.poltura.com/en/developer/).

A promotion is the record behind a discount code or an automatic discount. In developer mode the **Discounts** entry of the sidebar opens the promotions list instead of the combined list, and the combined list moves under it as a child entry called **Discounts**, next to **Campaigns**.

You do not need developer mode to create or edit a code: the same promotion pages open from the combined [Discounts](https://docs.poltura.com/en/discounts/) list. Developer mode adds the full list, the step-by-step creator and the raw condition editor.

## Read the list

The list holds only promotions, without campaigns and price lists. Its columns are **Code**, with the method under it, **Status** and **Campaign**. You can search it, sort it and filter it by date, and it is not limited to the latest 50 entries.

## Create a promotion

1. Open **Discounts** in the sidebar and select **Create**.
2. On the **Type** step, choose the **Promotion type**: **Standard** for a percentage or an amount off the order, its items or its shipping, or **Buy Get** for a Buy X get Y promotion. Select **Continue**.
3. For **Buy Get**, choose what needs to be in the cart and what the promotion is applied to.
4. Fill in the **Details** step. The fields are described on [Create a discount](https://docs.poltura.com/en/discounts/create-a-discount/).
5. Save. The promotion page opens.

## Read a promotion page

- The strip under the header: **Type**, **Value**, **Campaign**, **Rules**, **Status** and **Created**.
- **Promotion Details**: **Method**, **Type**, **Value**, **Currency**, **Allocation**, **Maximum Quantity** and **Usage**, with an **Edit** link.
- **Who can use this code?**: the usage conditions.
- **What items will the promotion be applied to?**: the item conditions. A Buy X get Y promotion also has **What needs to be in the cart to unlock the promotion?**
- **Restrictions**: the rule cards, with **Edit restrictions**. See [Coupon restrictions](https://docs.poltura.com/en/discounts/coupon-restrictions/).
- **Campaign**: the campaign the promotion is budgeted under, with **Go to campaign**.

## Edit the conditions

Conditions are the store's own rules on a promotion: an attribute, an operator and one or more values.

1. Open the promotion.
2. Select **Edit** on the condition block you want to change.
3. Select **Add condition**, choose the attribute, the **Operator** and the values.
4. Save. The block lists the new condition.

> **Good to know**
>
> For most rules the **Restrictions** cards are the easier tool. They write the matching conditions for you, so prefer them and use the condition editor only for what the cards do not cover.

## Put a promotion in a campaign

1. Open the promotion.
2. In the **Campaign** block, select **Edit**.
3. On **Edit Campaign**, choose the campaign. Choosing nothing takes the promotion out of its campaign.
4. Save. The block shows the campaign's name, identifier and budget.

## Delete a promotion

> **Warning**
>
> Deleting a promotion cannot be undone. Customers can no longer use its code.

Open the promotion, select **Delete**, type the code to confirm and delete.

## Good to know

- What a promotion applies to (items, the order or shipping) is fixed when it is created.
- A promotion can be in one campaign at a time.
- Promotions that the store manages for loyalty reward codes and product gift cards stay out of this list.
- Several texts on these pages appear in English.
