Promotion with Account Tags
Use Case: You want to create a promotion to give VIP account shoppers discounts.
To set this up in the Promotions Builder:
Setup Account Tags
Pre-condition: Your store should have setup some accounts. See Account Management.
- In Commerce Manager, go to Orders > Accounts > Account Tags.
- Click New account tag.
- Fill in the required information and Save to create the new account tag. (e.g. create a tag named
VIP
)
For more details, see Account Tags.
NOTE: For storefront use, ensure the Account Management Authentication Token is regenerated and updated in the API request header EP-Account-Management-Authentication-Token when applying promotions to the cart. This is necessary because the account tag and associated account status are stored in the session token. If the account tag or account association changes, a new token must be generated to reflect the updated status.
For more details, see Account Management Authentication Token
