• Free Product To Be Added in Pronto (applies only for Promo Codes that add a free product)

   Click here for further details...

  For Promo Codes with free products, you can choose between adding the free product online upon order submission or in the ERP (Pronto) when the order is integrated. Toggle ON or OFF Free Product To Be Added in Pronto. Default: OFF

  

  In the order placed, received and confirmation emails, how the free product is displayed depends on the option selected. 

  • When OFF, the free product is added online. In the emails, the free product displays as an item with a cost of $0.00 in the product order line of your Order Summary
    .

  • When ON, the free product is added in the ERP. When you toggle ON this setting, confirm you want the free product added in the ERP. 
    
    NOTE - Scroll up to the 'Free Product' fields. The fields are now empty and disabled. The free products you previously added for this promo code still apply.  
    
    The Order Placed, Received and Confirmation emails by default will not display the free product separately in an order line in Order Summary. 
      
    To add a note line about the free product in the Order Summary section, toggle ON the 'Show Note Lines on Individual Lines?' option in the Email Order Summary widget for any applicable email template (e.g., Order Received, Order Placed, Order Confirmation). The Promotion Code and Description will be added to the Order Summary.
    
    
    NOTE - For the free product and quantity to appear as an order line item in the sales receipt, they must be added to the sales order manually in Pronto after integration. 
• Postcode Exclusion List - (for free freight promo codes only) If required, enter single postcodes and/or postcode ranges (each comma-separated) to exclude. Follow Australia Post's four digit conventions so a three digit code would be '0200' instead of '200'.
