Understand Max Scheduled Promotions in QCMM

Scheduled Promotions are a Max / All Access pricing feature that automatically changes eligible Plan pricing during a configured window. They are distinct from customer-entered Coupon codes, and accepted promotion details are preserved with billing history.

Promotion vs. Coupon

A Promotion is administrator-scheduled sale pricing that QCMM evaluates automatically for eligible customers and Plans. A Coupon is a code-based discount with its own targeting, usage, and interaction rules. Both are Max / All Access features, but they solve different pricing workflows.

Scheduled Sale Behavior

A published Promotion can have start/end timing, Plan or Plan Group targeting, customer-audience rules, and percentage or fixed pricing logic. QCMM evaluates eligibility at the transaction rather than permanently rewriting the Plan’s normal price.

Historical Integrity

When a Promotion is accepted for a purchase, QCMM preserves the relevant promotion/pricing snapshot with billing history. Editing or ending the Promotion later must not rewrite the commercial facts of an earlier transaction.

Plan the Sale Before Publishing

• Confirm the target Plans and audiences.
• Confirm start/end timing.
• Test the resulting checkout price.
• Verify how Coupons and Site Credit are intended to interact with the sale.
