It is possible to give customers the better deal within a promotion by offering them a true promotion of “Equal or lesser value”, whereby the customer can be favoured with a better discount.
With Multiple Trips, this will work out the Cheapest Item in the triggered quantity calculating from the most expensive item to the cheapest item. Once a trigger occurs, calculation resumes onto the subsequent items.
How does it work? Consider you sold 3 items that trigger the promotion, one for $28, one for $25 and the other for $22. Using the traditional Cheapest Item % Discount promotion, the customer would have to pay for both the $28 and $25 options, as the “cheapest” item at $22 would be discounted. Using the FAVOURCUSTOMER option, the customer would have to pay for the $28 and $22 options, as the $25 option would be discounted. This promotion type can take into effect Instruction items with prices.
