Promotions
Menu Our items → Promotions.
Promotions are special offers (discounts) you can show on the site and/or add on an invoice as dedicated items.
Promotion types
| Type | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Service | Linked to one or more sub-services |
| Product | Linked to one or more products / variants |
| Combo | Combined offer (depending on store config) |
| Special | Free-form special offer |
Type availability depends on enabled catalogue modules (services / products).
Period and site display
| Field | Role |
|---|---|
| Start | Validity start date |
| End | End date (inclusive for the day) |
| In Site Web | If enabled: the promo can appear on the showcase (outside period / archived → no) |
Outside the Start–End window, or without In Site Web, the promo is not offered online.
Discount: fixed amount or percentage
| Discount type | Effect |
|---|---|
| Fixed amount (currency) | Discount of a precise amount (e.g. $10) |
| Percentage (%) | Discount as % of the reference price |
The discount value is set on the promotion record.
Image (especially service promos)
If the type is Service (linked to a sub-service) and you do not add an image on the promo, EliaFlow automatically looks for:
- the sub-service image,
- otherwise the parent service image that sub-service belongs to.
For a Product promo, without its own image: typical fallback to the product’s shop image.
Combo / Special types generally need a dedicated image.
Showcase site: services and products separated
On the site, service and product promotions are handled separately:
| Promo | Typical showcase behaviour |
|---|---|
| Linked to services | Featured on the services / booking side |
| Linked to products | Featured on the shop / cart side |
They are not mixed in a single undifferentiated list: the customer journey (book vs buy) stays distinct.
Admin invoicing: separate promotion line
On an invoice, a promotion is a specific item type:
| Rule | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Promotion line | Added as a promotion-type item |
| Not mixed | It is not merged into a service or product line |
| Catalogue | Linked to the promotion record, with its own discount |
So services, products, and promotions remain separate blocks on the invoice — as on the showcase.

Success criteria
- I create a Service or Product promo with Start / End and In Site Web.
- Discount as fixed amount or %.
- Without an image on a service promo, the site / admin falls back to sub-service then service image.
- On the site, service and product promos are properly separated.
- On an invoice, I add a distinct promotion line (not mixed with service/product).
