Note: As of July 8th 2024, promotions are now being referred to as discounts on Seller Hub and eBay help pages. Sell Marketing API documentation has been updated to reflect this product name change, but note that no API interface changes have been made.
This method creates an item discount, where the buyer receives a discount when they meet the specific buying criteria. Known here as "threshold discounts", these discounts trigger when a threshold is met.

eBay highlights discounted items by placing teasers for the discounted items throughout the online buyer flows.

Discounts are specified as either a monetary amount or a percentage off the standard sales price of a listing, letting you offer deals such as "Buy 1 Get 1" and "Buy $50, get 20% off".

Volume pricing discounts increase the value of the discount as the buyer increases the quantity they purchase.

Coded Coupons provide unique codes that a buyer can use during checkout to receive a discount. The seller can specify the number of times a buyer can use the coupon and the maximum amount across all purchases that can be discounted using the coupon. The coupon code can also be made public (appearing on the seller's Offer page, search pages, the item listing, and the checkout page) or private (only on the seller's Offer page, but the seller can include the code in email and social media).

Note: Coded Coupons are currently available in the US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, and AU marketplaces.

There are two ways to add items to a threshold discount:

Key-based discounts select items using either the listing IDs or inventory reference IDs of the items you want to discount. Note that if you use inventory reference IDs, you must specify both the inventoryReferenceId and the associated inventoryReferenceType of the item(s) you want to be discounted.
Rule-based discounts select items using a list of eBay category IDs or seller Store category IDs. Rules can further constrain the items being discounted by minimum and maximum prices, brands, and item conditions.

You must create a new discount in either a DRAFT or SCHEDULED state. Use the DRAFT state when you are initially creating a discount and you want to be sure it's correctly configured before scheduling it to run. When you create a discount, the promotion ID is returned in the Location response header. Use this ID to reference the discount in subsequent requests.

Tip: Refer to the Selling Integration Guide for details and examples showing how to create and manage threshold discounts using the Discounts Manager.
