Subscription Offering Improvements

MAJOR Improvements to Subscription Offerings.

We’ve made some changes to the way subscription offerings are represented to more closely align with customer requirements and to increase the flexibility of offerings.

What's Changed?

  • Subscription products are now called plans
  • What was previously called a plan is now a pricing option
  • Before these changes if more than one product existed in an offering they were treated as a bundle. Now a subscriber must pick a single plan from the subscription offering, increasing flexibility and reducing the number of subscription offerings that need to be maintained.
  • Pricing options are assigned to plans so that each plan may have its own pricing options or a subset of pricing options.

For details see: Subscription Offerings

Bundle Promotion in Promotions Builder

MAJOR Boost Average Order Value with Bundle Promotions in Promotions Builder

We’ve launched a powerful new capability in Promotions Builder: Bundle promotions. This empowers merchandisers to create compelling promotions that target groups of items to drive higher order values and increased conversions.

What's New?

  • A new option in Promotions Builder allows you to define a group of items as a promotional condition, and apply a discount to the same or different group of items, making it easier to design bundle-based offers.
