Create a cart campaign (cart based campaign)

A cart campaign is a campaign where offers are activated in the cart when a product that fulfils the campaign criteria is put in.

Go to Products (PIM) > Campaigns and click Create Campaign.

Quick guide

  1. Enter a Campaign title.
  2. Select a campaign type.
  3. Set the product selection.
  4. Configure settings.
  5. Set the date and time, then click Save Campaign.

Step 1 — Title

Give the campaign a name in the Campaign title field. The name is shown in the store in product listings, on the product page, in the cart, checkout, and order emails. How the information is displayed depends on how the store is designed and built.

Step 2 — Type

Select the campaign type. These campaigns activate in the cart when products that fulfil the criteria are added.

TypeDescription

Click Save selection when done. You can update the selection at any time.

If no selection is made, the campaign applies to all products.

Exclude products

Create a landing page

If you want a page with the campaign's products at a specific URL, click Create landing page for selected products below the selected products list. You can create a separate URL for each market.

Give the page a title, which forms the URL. You can also add a descriptive text shown under the headline in the store.
