PromotionDetails Response Group

The PromotionDetails response group returns detailed information about promotions (if any) related to items in a response. Included is information about the merchant offering the promotion, claim codes for the promotion, allowed promotion combinations, the type of promotion, the promotion ID, elegibility requirements, and the terms and conditions of the promotion. Some of this information is also returned by the PromotionSummary response group.

Promotions are only associated with items that have offers. For that reason, a request that uses PromotionDetails must also include one of the following response groups:

• Large

• OfferFull

• Offers

An error is returned if ProductDetails is not accompanied by one of these response groups in the request.

For more information, see Displaying Promotions.

Promotion Categories

There are many different kinds of promotion categories. The ones fully supported by ECS are:

• FreeShipping--The item is shipped free of charge.

• BuyQuantityXGetAmountOffX--If you buy at least the specified number of items, the cost of the next item is discounted. For example, if a customer buys three shirts, the fourth shirt is half off.

• ForEachQuantityXGetAmountOffX--Each item is discounted by the specified amount. For example, all shirts are 30% off.

For all other promotion categories, only some of the promotional information is returned.
