Best practices for configuring promotions

For best performance, follow these best practices to configure sales and promotions for items in a shopping cart:

  • Sales rules (cart price rules)–Configure no more than 1000 cart price rules for all websites
    • Manage and remove unused rules.
    • Add strict rule conditions (like attribute or category filter) for the most efficient matching.
  • Coupons—
    • Verify that the total number of coupons in the database is less than 250,000.
    • Remove unused and expired coupons.
    • Generate only the number of coupons needed to meet campaign requirements.

Affected products and versions

All supported versions of:

  • Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure
  • Adobe Commerce on-premises

Potential performance impacts

Having more than the recommended maximum number of cart price rules or coupons can affect site performance in the following ways:

  • Increased response time when products are added to the cart.
  • Increased time to load and render the minicart.
  • Increased time to render the cart page.
  • Increased time to render the Totals block on the Checkout page.
  • Applying coupons can take more than 2 seconds.
