Stacking Promotion Tiers
In this tutorial, you will learn how to validate, redeem, and manage promotion stacks using API.
Before you start
Make sure you already know key concepts of cart promotions by following the documentation:
- Read how to create promotion with stacks using the Dashboard.
- Read how to create promotion campaign with stacks using the Voucherify API.
Promotion stacks overview
Cart-level promotions apply discounts to customer's cart without promo codes. Once a customer qualifies for a promotion tier, the discount is automatically added to their cart.
Cart promotion can have many tiers, each with different discount and rules assigned. Created tiers can be grouped into stacks and validated/redeemed as a single redeemable.
A single promotion stack can have a maximum number of 30 tiers.
There are two modes for creating the promotion stacks.
- Dashboard - go here to learn more
- API - call POST URL/{promotion_id}/stacks

Promotion Stacks API
Dedicated endpoints in Promotions API enable you to create, list and edit promotion stacks.
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|---|
| POST | https://api.voucherify.io/v1/promotions/{campaign_id}/stacks | Create a stack within a promotion |
| GET | https://api.voucherify.io/v1/promotions/{campaign_id}/stacks | List stacks within a promotion |
| GET | https://api.voucherify.io/v1/promotions/{campaign_id}/stacks/{stack_id} | Return a stack assigned to the given id |
| PUT | https://api.voucherify.io/v1/promotions/{campaign_id}/stacks/{stack_id} | Update a given stack |
| DELETE | https://api.voucherify.io/v1/promotions/{campaign_id}/stacks/{stack_id} | Delete a stack |
Validation and redemption of promotion stack
Redemption and validation
In order to use stacking feature in your cart promotions and other campaigns, you need to manage validation and redemption by using Stackable Discounts API.
To redeem or validate the stack, you need to pass its id in API request. Please note that only one stack at the time is accepted for these methods. To retrieve the stack id, the first step is to use the GET method on the /stacks endpoint; see documentation on List Promotion Stacks.
Here is an example of a promotion stack validation.

In the returned redemptions array, you can see child redemptions that show redemptions of particular tiers. Discounts from stack tiers are applied consecutively as defined by the stack hierarchy. The hierarchy defines the sequence in which each of the stacked discounts will be applied to the single transaction.
