Introduction

Antavo’s Offer management allows you to deliver pre-purchase incentives to selected customers online and offline as well. You can create cart or item discounts in the Antavo Backoffice so that we can provide you with the necessary offer information that your customers can choose right at the checkout. Antavo can enable the redemption of offers by giving you the list of applicable offers on a cart, but you need to implement the solution in your checkout process that reduces the actual basket value based on the settings of an applicable offer.
