ItemPromotion

applyDiscountToSingleItemOnly

This flag is relevant in only when promotionType is set to VOLUME_DISCOUNT. For details on volume pricing promotions, see Configuring volume pricing discounts.

If set to true, the discount is applied only when the buyer purchases multiple quantities of a single item in the promotion. Otherwise, the promotional discount applies to multiple quantities of any items in the promotion. Different variations of a multi-variation item are considered to be the same item. Note that this flag is not relevant if the inventoryCriterion container identifies a single listing ID for the promotion.

budget

This sets the budget for the CODED_COUPON promotion type. Supported values range from 100-1000000. Supported currency codes include USD, GBP, EUR, and AUD.

Note: The budget value for an active or paused promotion can not be decreased.

Note: The Currency Code for 'budget' must be the same as the Currency Code for 'maxDiscountAmount'.

couponConfiguration

The configuration of a coded coupon promotion.

description

This is the seller-defined "tag line" for the offer, such as "Save on designer shoes."

The tag line appears under the "offer-type text" that is generated for the promotion and is displayed on the offer tile that's shown on the seller's All Offers page, and on the event page for the promotion.

Note: Offer-type text is a teaser that's presented throughout the buyer's journey through the sales flow and is generated by eBay. The offer-type text is not editable by the seller—it's derived from the settings in the discountRules and discountSpecification fields—and can be, for example, "Extra 20% off when you buy 3+".

Maximum length: 50

Required if you are configuring CODED_COUPON, ORDER_DISCOUNT, or MARKDOWN_SALE promotions (and not valid for VOLUME_DISCOUNT promotions).

discountRules

array of DiscountRule

This container defines a promotion using the following two required fields:

• discountBenefit – Defines a discount as either a monetary amount or a percentage that is subtracted from the sales price of an item, a set of items, or an order.
• discountSpecification – Defines a set of rules that determine when the promotion is applied.

Note: For volume pricing, you must specify at least two and not more than four discountBenefit/discountSpecification pairs. In addition, you must define each set of rules with a ruleOrder value that corresponds with the order of volume discounts you present.

Tip: Refer to Specifying item promotion discounts for information and examples on how to combine discountBenefit and discountSpecification to create different types of promotions.
