Excluding items which are used to qualify for a pricing rule from adjustment

You can exclude qualifying amount for Amount threshold-based pricing rules and exclude qualifying item quantities for quantity-based pricing rules.

This enables you to model promotions that allows the customer to spend more or purchase greater quantities than the threshold in-order to take advantage of the discount. For example, a promotion based on spending threshold might indicate that if a customer spends $50 on binders, that customer can get 20% off any additional binders. So a customer that spends $80 on binders receives 20% off on $30.

An item quantity promotion could specify that a customer who buys 3 binders will receive 10% off on any additional binders. If a customer purchases 8 binders, 5 of them will be discounted at 10%.
