FAQ

1. Am I allowed to join more than 1 campaign?

2. Can I set up other seller promotion tools if I join the campaign?

Yes. You can set up other seller-funded promotion tools, such as Flash Deal or seller vouchers, to be used along with campaigns. However, please take note that the campaign price will always be prioritised regardless of price.
In the above example, there is a campaign and Flash Deal set during overlapping periods. In this scenario, the campaign price will take effect between 1-5 Jun and Flash Deal prices between 6-10 Jun.
