Merchant-Controlled Ecommerce Incentives
Margin-Aware Offers
Roadmap — future strategic capability. Protect margin while giving shoppers the right reason to buy.
WardrobeIt is designed to help ecommerce merchants use discounts, bundles, free-shipping incentives, and promotional offers more selectively.
The future Margin-Aware Offers engine will evaluate merchant-approved product rules, cart conditions, customer eligibility, offer limits, and connected margin data before presenting an incentive.
-
Protect Margin
Apply merchant-defined discount and profitability rules before an offer can be shown.
-
Control Eligibility

-
Increase Conversion
