Why B2B promotions matter (and where they often fail) 

Planning a campaign is one thing; getting buyers to redeem it is another. Hidden code fields, unclear savings and rigid rule sets all chip away at conversion. Sana Commerce Cloud (SCC) fixes that with B2B Promotions—a discount engine built for complex, agreement‑driven pricing.

What’s new in B2B Promotions?

Flexible rule builder

Build discounts fast: set minimum spend, item counts, or target customer segments. Why it matters: launch richer campaigns without ERP help.

Automatic discounts

Applies at checkout when conditions match—no code field needed. Why it matters: zero missed opportunities and higher conversion.

Product‑set discounts

Discount predefined product sets; cap redemptions or add minimum‑purchase rules. Why it matters: perfect for clearing old stock or upselling a new line.

Customer‑assortment targeting

Apply product discounts to specific customer assortments. Why it matters: personalised promos without breaking contract pricing.

Buy X, Get Y*

Create "Buy 1 Get 1", "Buy 2 Get 1 ‑50%" and more. Why it matters: drives basket size and cross‑sell.
