Platform promotion is a promotion created by Joom. You can participate in such promotions by adding your products before deadlines. All platform promotions have specific requirements that must be adhered to.

Note that you can participate in such promotions automatically by enabling Auto-Participation in Promotion feature.

There are 3 types of platform promotions:

• Regular promotions: regular promotions carried out when there are no special ones scheduled.
• Big Promotions: special promotions run once or twice a month, which could drive a lot of traffic.
• Huge promotions: biggest promotions of a year that drive the biggest traffic. For example, 11.11, Joom birthday, Black Friday etc.

2. Scroll down to the list of promotions. Promotions available for participation are labelled as Upcoming. Select a promotion you want to participate in.

3. Check the requirements. If products don't meet the requirements, they will be filtered out from the promotion. Merchants caught in the rule violating behavior will be punished accordingly.

• Access to the promotion will be closed once its status changes to Preparing. It means that you cannot add, edit or delete products. Also, you cannot cancel your participation in the promotion. 
• In case of a critical problem with a promotional product, please disable the product. However, you won't be able to add the disabled product to this promotion again.
• Some promotions have a special requirement of postponing any product changes. It means that once you have added a product to a promotion, all product changes will be displayed when the promotion ends.
• EDLP products cannot participate in the platform promotions. When you add products to a promotion, the EDLP products will not be displayed in the list of available products. If you try to add such products using a product ID, the system will give an error.
• If some added products cannot participate in the promotion, you will see the Not Participating Products section on Promotion page. Click Show Details to check details.
