Is there a trial period for the Promo Manager?

If you're curious as to what the administrative side looks like, please visit the screenshots page for images or watch the recording of our webinar for a walk through.

Will the Promo Manager work with carts that have over 100 items in it?
Yes.

I'm not very computer savvy. Am I going to have trouble learning the system or creating my promotions?
The Promo Manager administrative system is very user friendly. Each page has a help section on the right to explain, step by step, how to use all the options and input fields. Also, we offer full support for life for any work we do for your store.

What are the "Custom Variables"? Are those new or can I use my store's pre-existing variables?
The Promo Manager gives you 5 custom variables that will allow you to create a new custom variable, where you will be able to identify specific items that you want to be identified for the purposes of the Promo Manager, like a brand name. If you already have a custom variable you would like to use, you can map one of those existing variables into these fields.

Once I create a promotion, when will the promotion become active?
Once created, your promotions will be listed as "Inactive" on your administrative summary page. With one click, you can toggle to "Active" or back to "Inactive."

Can I set multiple conditions to one promotion?
Yes, of course.

Will the Promo Manager automatically add free reward items to customers' carts?
The Promo Manager does not automatically add rewards (i.e.: free or discounted items) to the cart. Customers will need to add the reward to their cart and the Promo Manager will automatically take the discount in the cart and at checkout. Product options and certain conditions make automatic add-to-cart impossible.
We can create a limited custom addition where specific items with no options will be automatically added to a cart as a reward, but it is not a feature of the Promo Manager. If this add-on sounds like something that might interest you, please contact us for more information.
