Promotion Data Model and its Life-Cycle

    Promotion Data Model

Promotions

Promotions provide you the ability to offer customers incentives to purchase. WebSphere Commerce supports numerous types of promotions. For example, price promotions that include offering simple discounts; merchandise specials such as gifts with purchase and buy-one-get-one. Additional service promotions are available that include offering reduced shipping costs.

Business users create and manage promotions with the Promotions tool in the Management Center.
Promotion lifecycle

A business user creates a promotion in the inactive state. From that point forward, the promotion can be activated, modified, and deleted.

The following diagram depicts the life-cycle of a promotion.

  • When a promotion is first created, it is inactive.
  • When an inactive promotion is activated, a new version of that promotion is created and marked active. The original promotion is then marked as obsolete.
  • An active promotion can be withdrawn, marking it as inactive.
  • Promotions are static. When changes are made to a promotion, a new revision is made. The new revision inherits the state of the promotion before the change. The original promotion is then marked as obsolete.
  • Promotions in either active or inactive state can be modified or deleted. The changes take effect immediately after they are made.
