Display Type Properties Page

Use the Display Type Properties page to set the number of times to show the discount to a customer within a session, and in what form the discount appears to the customer. If your site uses user profiles to store campaign history, the exposure limit is the number of times the discount can be shown to a customer within a cross-session.

The items that appear on the Display Type Properties tab depend on the type of discount you select. For example, a discount display that contains an image will have a different display than a discount that contains text only.

Note

The following table lists the display properties that Commerce Server 2009 provides. To modify these properties to suit your business needs, contact your site developer.
