Example: runtime promotion XML

The runtime promotion XML is the name that is given to the XML representation of a promotion type. The promotion engine uses the runtime promotion XML to evaluate the promotion on the storefront.

This following example code represents a complete XML representation of a promotion, that is, the runtime promotion XML:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
