Hi @mikesnoeren
Thank you for reporting this. We have made an issue in the docs to be updated to make sure they explain how the system is working.
We have also added the promotable property to the options for showing in the variant index. This will allow you to have better visibility over which variants have been set to be profitable. This change will be included in the next release of Commerce.
We will take the feedback on board and see if there is a way (maybe a setting) to change the behaviour for whether a new variant is promotable by default.
Thanks!
Hi @nfourtythree, thanks for creating the issue in the docs.
From my perspective, enabling the promotable property by default would be the most effective approach. Any necessary (conditional) rules for promotions should, in my opinion, be managed within the promotion itself.
Introducing this setting seems to add unnecessary complexity to the already intricate promotions functionality.
Additionally, I find it quite unconventional to restrict certain products from being eligible for promotions. Having worked on multiple webshops, we have never encountered a need for this restriction.
Hi @mikesnoeren
Again, thank you for this feedback. We will take it on board when making decisions regarding this functionality.
Thanks!
