EcoTech Appliances, a retailer specializing in energy-efficient home appliances, is preparing for a seasonal promotion. They want to offer discounted shipping to encourage larger orders and increase customer loyalty. Their marketing team has proposed the following discount strategy:
- Standard free shipping: Orders over $150 qualify for free standard shipping (usually $25).
- Loyalty program free shipping: Members of the "EcoPerks" loyalty program receive free standard shipping on orders over $100 instead of $150.
- Flash Sale conflict: A 20% site-wide discount is planned for one week in March. However, the free shipping threshold is based on the cart total before discounts are applied.
The operations team has concerns about how these discounts will interact. They want to ensure that customers receive the correct discount while avoiding confusion or unintended exclusions.
