Add-on Items

1 Module Introduction

An add-on items promotion refers to a sales tactic where customers can purchase designated items at a discounted price after spending a specified amount or buying a certain quantity of items. This feature helps merchants increase average order value, boost item sales, diversify order structures, and simultaneously enhance customer shopping experience and repurchase intention.

2.4 Advanced Settings

  1. Promotion Code: Toggle to enable/disable promotion code requirement. When enabled, the offer can only be redeemed by entering the code offline. Configure the code and its valid time period.
  2. Member-Only Benefit: If checked, the offer is exclusively available to customers who hold this member benefit.
  3. Applicable Service Types: Defaults to all options. Customize to select “Dine-In”, “Takeout”, or “Delivery”.
  4. Eligible Customer Scope:
  • Navigate to Advanced Settings to restrict the target audience. Select specific customer groups, including:
    • Member Tier: Limit the activity to certain member levels (e.g., VIP Members, Silver Card Members).
    • Customer Tags: Filter customers by tags (e.g., New Customers, Repeat Customers).
  1. Customer Participation Limits:

    • Total Participation Limit per Customer: Set the maximum number of times a single customer can join the activity during the entire period (e.g., 3 times per customer).
    • Daily Participation Limit per Customer: Restrict the number of redemptions per customer per day (e.g., 1 time per day).
  2. Maximum Discount per Order:

    • Set the cap on discount amount for a single order. Even if the order meets criteria for higher discounts, the system will apply this upper limit to avoid excessive losses.
    • Example: If the maximum discount per order is set to $50, the final discount amount will not exceed $50, regardless of higher discount triggers.
  3. Side Dish Eligibility for Discount Calculation:

    • Threshold Calculation: Side dishes are included in the order amount by default when calculating the threshold.
    • Included in Discount: The system treats main dishes and side dishes as a single unit, and the discount amount is prorated between them.
      • Example: A merchant runs a “Spend $100, Get $10 Off” promotion. A customer buys item A ($90) with a side dish ($10). Since the side dish is included, the $10 discount is split proportionally between item A and the side dish.
    • Excluded from Discount: The system only applies the discount to the main dish price, excluding side dishes from the discount calculation.
      • Example: A merchant runs a “Spend $100, Get $10 Off” promotion. A customer buys item A ($90) with a side dish ($10). Since the side dish is excluded, the full $10 discount applies only to item A.
  4. Add-Ons/Flavor/Cooking Method Eligibility for Discount Calculation:

    • Threshold Calculation: Add-ons, flavor options, and cooking methods are included in the order amount by default when calculating the threshold.
    • Included in Discount: The system treats main dishes and add-ons/flavor/cooking methods as a single unit, and the discount amount is prorated between them.
      • Example: A merchant runs a “Spend $100, Get $10 Off” promotion. A customer buys item A ($90) with a $10 add-on. Since the add-on is included, the $10 discount is split proportionally between item A and the add-on.
    • Excluded from Discount: The system only applies the discount to the main dish price, excluding add-ons/flavor/cooking methods from the discount calculation.
      • Example: A merchant runs a “Spend $100, Get $10 Off” promotion. A customer buys item A ($90) with a $10 add-on. Since the add-on is excluded, the full $10 discount applies only to item A.
  5. Promotion Stacking & Exclusivity Rules:The system predefines default stacking/exclusivity relationships for different discount types (e.g., coupons, promotions, member prices, member discounts). Merchants can either use the default rules or customize exclusive/stackable relationships between this activity and other discount types during setup.

    • Use Default Stacking/Exclusivity Scheme: The system applies a universal set of rules for coupons, promotions, member prices, and member discounts.
    • Customize Rules: Merchants can independently configure whether this activity can be stacked with member prices, member discounts, coupons, or other promotions.
    • Priority Rule: Customized rules take precedence over the default scheme if there is a conflict.
