For detailed information for configuring your store, sites, and websites, you may want to review the Adobe Commerce User Guide. This page provides best practices, helpful information, and guidelines for configuring your stores, sites, and more with additional content to post over time and across versions.
This information is helpful for Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure 2.1.X and 2.2.X.
To create campaigns and promotions, create the options and settings in Content Staging. This feature allows you to create and preview your campaigns before making them public for customer sales. The following information provides helpful information. For exact instructions, see the linked Adobe Commerce User Guide content.
Campaigns are marketing events for seasonal sales, new product lines, and more. Each campaign can include custom themes, blocks for content, widgets to control and display content, and associated promotions with price rules. Due to the extensive nature of a campaign, you create them with a start and end date through Content Staging.
Promotions provide discounts, one time offers, coupons, first time buyer incentives, and more. You create these promotions as Price Rules that set the terms, discounts, and options to encourage customers to buy. You can create price rules on the shopping cart or catalog, with additional options for banners, reward points, and more. We also support scheduling campaigns for your promotions, applying price rules for major events like a new product line or seasonal sales.
The following are tips to help create, update, and manage promotions and campaigns:

Typically, you can set Advanced Pricing for products through the Products > Catalogs area of the Admin. With Staged Content, you need to complete a few extra steps to add the pricing to a promotion and campaign.

Price rules can include logic and conditions as limitless as your marketing imagination. Some popular examples include Buy One Get One Free, Buy One Get One 50% Off, a $25 dollars off on orders over $100 dollars, and so on.
To create a Price Rule, see our Adobe Commerce User Guide.
The following provides an example of creating a Price Rule for a First Order Only discount. For this discount, you would want to:
This ensures net-new customers or existing customers who have not made a purchase receive the discount only on their first order. You could create banners and send email promotions for the first-time purchase discount.
You can set up and run several stores with a single implementation of Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure. See Set up multiple websites or stores.
For stores that do not interact with each other, you can create multiple websites. Each website has specific articles, customer data, checkout, and shopping cart that are not shared with other websites in Adobe Commerce.
Each website can include one or more stores with different categories and articles, shared customer data, checkout, and shopping cart. For these stores, a customer can sign up once and shop across different catalogs of products with a single checkout.
Also, you can create store views for different languages, layouts, and designs. Each view can have a separate domain, branding, and language while sharing articles, customer data, checkout, and shopping cart.
The following are examples to better explain:
Single website with one store and two views for English and Spanish locale. All article data, customers, checkout, and shopping cart are shared.
Single website with a store for women’s clothing includes two views: one for English and one for Spanish. The store for children’s clothing includes a single store view in English. All article data, customers, checkout, and shopping cart are shared. The stores may have different domains and themes.
Two websites one for clothing and another for home decor with different catalogs and separate articles, customer data, and shopping cart. Each website could have multiple stores and views sharing articles, customer data, checkout, and shopping cart only within that website.
Catalog data expands as you increase the number of websites and stores. Depending on your project architecture, the additional stores can lead to a longer indexing process and slower response times for non-cached catalog pages. Adobe recommends that you monitor site performance closely.
