Special pricing
The Special Pricing reward iteratively sets price points for a series of items scanned in the basket. You can define a set of price points from Price Point 1 to Price Point N. The first price point applies to the first unit of an item, the second price point to the second unit, and so on. Once the number of units scanned for the rewarded item reaches N, the price points restart from Price Point 1.
You can select any price point as the restart point. The first iteration moves from Price Point 1 to Price Point N, and subsequent iterations will start from the selected restart point.
For example, a special pricing reward is configured with three price points: Price Point 1 set at $10, Price Point 2 at $8, and Price Point 3 at $5. The restart point is configured to Price Point 2. The following table describes how the reward is applied to the item.
| Special Pricing | Price Point 1 | Price Point 2 | Price Point 3 | Price Point 2 (restart) | Price Point 3 | Price Point 2 (restart) | Price Point 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item Quantity | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th |
| Item Price | $10 | $8 | $5 | $8 | $5 | $8 | $5 |
Note: For the rewarded product group, if the actual prices of different items vary, Price Point 1 applies to the highest-priced item, Price Point 2 to the second highest-priced item, and so on.
