What are Combo Deals?
Combo deals are bundle promotions where a customer buys items from multiple different categories together at a special price. For example: "Buy any energy drink + any snack for $4.99."
Each combo deal references one or more Promotion Groups — the customer must buy at least one item from each group to trigger the deal.
Where to Find Combo Deals
Navigate to Promotions → Combo Deals Maintenance tab.
