On this page
AndOr uses five words a lot. This page says what each one is, where you find it in the app, and whether shoppers see it. More terms are under Other terms.
The five terms
| Term | What it is | Where in the app | Shoppers see it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rule | Any checkout rule: a discount, validation, payment or shipping rule. It runs at checkout. | Rules | Only its effect: a discount, a hidden method or an error message. |
| Promotion | A discount set up the easy way, plus how it shows on your store. It has three parts: Discount, Storefront widgets and Upsell offer. A promotion’s discount is also a rule. | Promotions | Yes, through its widgets. |
| Widget | A theme block that shows a discount on your store, like the sale price, savings badge, goal bar or volume tiers. | The theme editor, and the Storefront widgets section of a promotion | Yes. |
| Upsell offer | A message with a one-click add that tells shoppers what to add to reach the next reward. The discount decides the offer type. | Upsell offers and gifts, and the Upsell offer section of a promotion | Yes. |
| Gift | A free product from a free gift promotion. AndOr adds it for the shopper, or the shopper picks it in the gift chooser. | A Free gift promotion | Yes. |
How they connect
A promotion and its discount rule are the same discount, seen in two places. The promotion adds the widgets and the upsell offer.
