MINOR Enhanced Currency Support in Promotions Builder

We've expanded currency support in Promotions Builder to allow promotions to apply across all available currencies, providing greater flexibility for global merchants.

What's New?

• Added "All Currencies" option in the currency dropdown, allowing promotions to apply to all supported currencies
• Rule Promotions still default to the store's default currency, maintaining existing behavior
• Important note: All currencies option works best with percent discounts, as fixed discounts won't factor in exchange rates when applied to multiple currencies

New! Promotion Carrots: Buy X Get Y (BXGY) Suggestions​

• We've expanded our Promotions builder to include Buy X Get Y (BXGY) product suggestions. For qualifying BXGY offers, our system can now provide front-end suggestions for the 'Y' products.

• This feature can also be used for free-gift promotions when there is a choice of free-gift options, requesting the shopper to make a choice to add one to the cart.
