The Promotions report is a pre-made detailed report that shows the impact of each promotion on purchases and revenue.
A promotion is a way of encouraging users to buy a product or service through an incentive. Examples of incentives include discounts on products, services, or shipping. Promotions are often advertised on a website's home page or in product catalogs.
The data in the report comes from ecommerce events.
