Promotions Adjustments in Orders

In this document, you’ll learn how a promotion is applied to an order’s items and shipping methods using adjustment lines.

What are Adjustment Lines?#

An adjustment line indicates a change to a line item or a shipping method’s amount. It’s used to apply promotions or discounts on an order.

The OrderLineItemAdjustment data model represents changes on a line item, and the OrderShippingMethodAdjustment data model represents changes on a shipping method.

The amount property of the adjustment line indicates the amount to be discounted from the original amount.

Discountable Option#

The OrderLineItem data model has an is_discountable property that indicates whether promotions can be applied to the line item. It’s enabled by default.

When disabled, a promotion can’t be applied to a line item. In the context of the Promotion Module, the promotion isn’t applied to the line item even if it matches its rules.

Promotion Actions#

When using the Order and Promotion modules together, use the computeActions method of the Promotion Module’s main service. It retrieves the actions of line items and shipping methods.

The computeActions method accepts the existing adjustments of line items and shipping methods to compute the actions accurately.

Then, use the returned addItemAdjustment and addShippingMethodAdjustment actions to set the order’s line items and the shipping method’s adjustments.
