Cashback

Note: This feature is available for B2C channels only.

Intershop Commerce Management provides the ability to create cashback promotions with different conditions that can be defined for different target groups. This allows logged-in customers and/or unregistered storefront visitors to acquire cashback with their orders. This cashback can be transferred to the customer as a cashback promotion code.

Initially, a cashback promotion code has a theoretical maximum value and only receives its practical value when the ordered products are shipped. The cashback promotion code can be redeemed for another order of the same customer within the validity period. After redemption, the code loses its validity, even if there is still a remaining amount.

For information on how to enable the cashback feature for a channel, refer to Defining Cashback Settings.

To set up a cashback promotion, the following components are required:
  • A promotion code group

    The cashback promotion codes are stored in this promotion code group. For general information on how to create a promotion code group, refer to Creating Promotion Code Groups.

    Consider the following settings:
