Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

Mix and Match Discounts

 NOTE

Applies to: Sana 9.3.3 and higher

A mix and match discount gives customers a discount when they purchase a specific combination of products. For example, if a customer buys a smartphone and a screen protector, he will receive a 50% discount on a smartphone case. You can apply the mix and match discount to products and product variants.

Set up a mix and match discount

In Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations click:  Webshop > Common > Discounts > Mix and match discounts.

 NOTE

Starting from Sana 9.3.4 you can apply several mix & match discounts to a shopping cart. If a customer adds products to the shopping cart which meet the criteria of multiple mix & match discounts, all of them will be applied. In Sana 9.3.3 it is possible to apply only one mix & match discount to a shopping cart.

The table below provides the description of the fields necessary to set up the mix and match discount.

Limitations

• The mix and match discounts are not supported for the order processing strategy that is optimized for large orders. For more information, see "Order Processing".
• There is the Retail functionality in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, which offers various discounts and it is also supported by Sana. If you use the Retail functionality of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, then the Sana mix and match discounts will not work as the Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations Retail discounts have higher priority.
• Do not set up sales line discounts and mix & match discounts for the same products. The sales line discount has higher priority than the mix and match discount. Thus, if both discounts are set up for the same products, only the sales line discount will be calculated for these products and shown in the Sana webshop.
  Take into consideration that if both discounts are set up for the same products, the sales line discount will be calculated for the products, but the description of the mix and match discount will be still shown on the product details pages, which can be confusing for a user. Thus, if you do not use the mix and match discount, you should disable it.

In Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations click: Webshop > Webshops. Open the necessary webshop and click Advanced options > Webshop optimization at the top of the window. Select the Disable Sana discounts option.
