Review markdowns and promotions

Understand the difference between eligibility, application and value distributed.

Guide reviewed 14 September 2026 · Controls depend on your app version and access.

Before you begin

Promotion availability and management actions depend on the workspace. Check the selected promotion type before interpreting its figures.

  1. 01Select the promotion

    Open Markdowns and read the promotion’s description and conditions. Confirm whether it concerns a discount, free item or tracked item.

  2. 02Read eligibility separately

    Eligible carts or transactions indicate possible application, not that the benefit was actually used.

  3. 03Review application and value

    Compare applications, utilisation and value distributed. For tracked items, also inspect returned or outstanding quantities where shown.

  4. 04Check operational impact

    Use Inventory to investigate an outstanding tracked item. Review the related transaction before assuming a promotion was incorrectly applied.

Check the result

You can explain which transactions qualified, which used the promotion and what value or items were distributed.

If something does not look right

A budget or utilisation figure is not a bank balance. Check the promotion’s own definition and time period when comparing results.
