# promotions

query · in the family [Promotion](/reference/promotion/)

## What it does

The promotion list — each entry is a promotion — an automatic price rule.

The caller's org-group family's ACTIVE LISTING of Promotions — doomed records DROP from listings.

## What happens

Reads only — changes nothing.

## Who may call it

## Returns

[Promotion](/types/Promotion/) `[Promotion!]!` — A Promotion — the rule-based discount engine that EMITS source=promo LINE discount entries at the step-2 position 3 (after manual + coupon; the pipeline math was position-complete from birth — the build ANIMATES the dormant slot, the pattern). Org restriction is JUNCTION-LESS: the scope axes (channels/LFs/orgs) gate WHERE it fires; productScope (the CollectionPredicate VERBATIM + inclusions/exclusions + a Collection ref) gates WHAT lines match — ABSENT productScope = ALL product lines (the sitewide sale; open_item lines never match); cartConditions gate WHEN. Windows are half-open \[startAt, endAt) — an EVALUATION gate, never FSM states (advance scheduling = create active with a future startAt; absent endAt = evergreen). Resolution is STRICT no-stack (priority asc, id asc; combinableGroup opts IN; exclusive blocks its lines). Emissions are ABSOLUTE amount entries computed to replay VERBATIM in the pipeline; order-target effects pre-allocate largest-remainder over the MATCHED lines ONLY. Redemptions count per ORDER in the place/accept transaction; a capped-out promotion silently STOPS FIRING. At most 128 ACTIVE per org group.
