Banners and badges in the product and the category pages

The extension makes it possible to display a banner and/or a badge in the promoted product pages. That is, the banner/badge will show up in the products that the cart rule is valid for.

note

Pay attention that this feature is currently only available for the BOGO and N+N promotion types.

Field explanation​

We will explain the fields of the banners and badge in the BOGO and the N+M promotions.

BOGO​

In the cart promotion backend view, under the “Actions” tab, select one of the BOGO actions. You should see the following fields

BOGO action tabs with the banner and badges fields marked

  • Display a banner in promoted products (for BOGO it is the "Buy" products) – once the switch is on, you can upload a banner image

To do that, click the “Upload” button and select the image.

This is the image that will show up in the “buy” products. The image will show up under the price in the product page.

note

After saving the rule, make sure that you’ve re-indexed the apactionrule_rule index. You can do that manually by running

php bin/magento indexer:reindex apactionrule_rule

in your SSH. Or you can wait for your cron to do that. Without re-indexing – the banner/badges will be outdated (that is, they will be displayed according to the rule data of the last re-index).

Rule example​

The promotion is “Buy a pant, get a t-shirt with 50% discount”. We uploaded a banner for the “buy” products. As the result, the banner shows up in pants:

N+m / Each N​

The banners and badges in Each N work the same as in BOGO. The only difference is that you only can upload banner and badges for the “buy” products. The reason is – there is not “get” products in Each N promotions. Each N promotions consist out of one group of products, and not two like the BOGO.

In the cart promotion backend view, under the “Actions” tab, select one of the Each N actions. You should see the following fields:
