20. Rewards

Rewards is where we can establish discounts given for this promotion code

21. Order Discount Amount

Order Discount Amount will be a flat $ amount off, example "5" in this field will yield $5 off of the cart total

Order Discount Percent is a percentage of the cart total, example "5" is 5% of the cart total

23. Exclusions - Rewards

Exclusions will allow us to fine tune our rewards field to exclude certain products, for example we can establish a reward of the Firearms department for 10% off but exclude certain products in the firearms department from that reward and they will remain their normal price.
