Create a SKU-Based Offer

PayU allows merchants to create offers for specific Products/SKUs in the cart. These offers will be shown only when the specific product is added by the user and hence can be used by the merchant to promote specific products.

Example: A merchant has created offer 1 on mobile and offer 2 on watch. During checkout, the following will be shown for a user on the merchant store page:

  • If the cart has Smartphone, offer 1 (SKU ID is smartphone234) would show up for the user.  
  • If the cart has an Smartwatch132, offer 2 (SKU ID is smartwatch) would show up for the user.
  • If the cart has both mobile and watch, both offer 1 and offer 2 would show up and user will be able to apply both the offers.

The procedure to add SKU-based offer includes some extra steps when you provide the basic details about the offer. For more information, refer to Create an Instant Discount or Cashback Offer.
