Product Configurator Promotion Rules

Promotional pricing in a product configurator should be governed by the same commercial rules as a normal quotation. A buyer needs to understand which product is eligible, what the offer includes and whether the displayed price still applies when the design changes.

For manufacturers and dealer networks, the software requirement is a controlled promotion rule with a traceable result. Configurix implementations can connect product configuration to the agreed pricing, permissions and quotation workflow; the proposal should define the promotion logic your business needs.

Specify eligibility before the discount

Decide whether the offer applies to a product family, size range, finish, accessory package, customer type or dealer account. Define excluded combinations and whether the promotion can be combined with an account discount.

Store product and option identities rather than matching an offer to a marketing label alone. A renamed finish should not silently change which configurations qualify.

Make the rule explainable

Decision	Requirement to agree
Start and end	Effective dates, time zone and treatment of saved offers
Eligible configuration	Models, dimensions, components and exclusions
Price calculation	Fixed amount, percentage, bundle price or another agreed formula
Permissions	Who can create, approve, change or override the promotion
Commercial conditions	Discount combinations, minimum margin and approval thresholds
Quote validity	What happens after expiry or a change to the product

Specify the currency, rounding and calculation order. Test the line-level result as well as the final total: a correct-looking total can conceal an incorrect component charge.

Preserve the quotation the customer received

A saved configuration and an issued quotation need clear revision rules. Define whether an accepted offer keeps its original price, whether an expired quotation needs repricing and which changes require a new approval. Record the reason for a manual adjustment.

Explain included accessories, delivery and installation charges on the quotation according to the agreed commercial scope. Product availability and installation capacity require their own information sources; a promotional price should not be treated as a reservation.

Test commercial boundaries

Check an eligible product, an excluded option, a design changed during the promotion and a quotation reopened after expiry. Test dealer access and an attempted discount combination. Confirm that the public display and the saved quotation use the same product and price revisions.

If checkout, deposits or payment-provider connections are included, agree their rules separately. A price engine does not itself establish payment collection, recurring billing or an installation commitment.

Evaluate the promotion through the buying journey

Measure eligible configurations, completed quotation requests, accepted offers and realised margin using definitions your team can review. Compare similar products and periods. Avoid promising a sales uplift before the actual implementation has been measured.
