This topic, intended for existing WebSphere Commerce customers, describes changes to how specific functions are implemented in this release.
Discounts
The discount feature from previous versions has been completely redesigned, which means that both schema-based discounts and rule-based discounts are obsolete. While you are strongly urged to begin implementing your discounts using the new promotions feature, both of the older systems will continue to be supported in a limited fashion for customers migrating from previous versions of WebSphere Commerce. If you require the use of either of these old discount systems, refer to the technical support page, where a Technote is available.
