Offer Stacking

Stacking is how discounts and offers are applied together in the cart. AIQ Ecommerce supports three different options at the store-level, set in Store Settings > Orders:

No Stacking
No Double Stacking
Stacking

You can also set more specific stacking settings at the individual offer-level. For more details and examples, see Discount Stacking.

Limit Use per Order

This setting can be used for Deals and Sales (not Cart Discounts) to limit how many times a shopper can redeem the same offer in an order.

For example, if you wanted to limit the number of redemptions to just 1 per order, type a 1 in this field. If you don't want to set a limit, just leave this blank.

Limit Use per Customer

This setting can be used to limit how many times a shopper can redeem the same offer.

For example, if you wanted to limit the number of redemptions to just 1 for that shopper, type a 1 in this field. If you don't want to set a limit, just leave this blank.

There are some possible limitations to enforcing this feature:

If the shopper is logged-in, we know their PII (email/phone) and can ensure that the limit set is enforced.
If the shopper is NOT logged-in, we will check their email/phone input at checkout
Note: If you have decided to not show these fields at checkout, the setting may not apply.

⚠️ Warning: This setting applies only to shoppers that AIQ Ecom recognizes in its CRM (those who have placed an online, walkup, or kiosk order through AIQ Ecom). Shoppers added via POS, manual uploads to AIQ Personas, or other non-Ecom order sources may not be recognized.

Minimum Spend

Create an offer that only applies when a shopper's cart total exceeds a specified amount. When this type of offer is active, a progress bar will appear in the shopper's cart, showing how much more they need to spend to unlock the reward.

Custom Offers Image

You can customize the look of your deals by uploading a background image in the Settings section while creating an offer.

Promo Codes

You can set up a promo code for any offer type. See Promo Codes.

Scheduling Offers

To enable and disable the redemption of an offer automatically, you can set a schedule for it. Scheduling can be used for any offer type. See Scheduling Offers.
