Enticify Shipping Discount Application Behaviour

A shipping promotion can apply once per shipment.

Purchase conditions must be met within the shipment for the discount to be qualified. Therefore, a given shipment must contain all of the items needed to qualify for a discount, in order to then receive the shipping cost reduction.

Commerce Server will qualify a shipping discount using all basket items from all shipments and then apply the discount to all of the shipment costs. This can result in a customer getting deep discounts and you facing lots of shipping costs. Hence, the Enticify approach.

This is the only difference right now. However, we have new shipping discount features in the pipeline. Additionally, the Enticify engine is open for customisation and application algorithm choices, so if you'd like another approach let us know!
