Increasing average order value is one of the most important KPI's in commerce activities. Promotion for entire basket with minumum cart value can trigger a boost in spending across whole loyalty base. 

While creating such a promotion, additional assumptions need to be taken into consideration:
- A discount should be granted only when a transaction value exceeds the minimum amount in order to incentivize a customer to increase their basket size.
- The value of certain items (like alcohol or cigarretes) should not be included in basket value while calculating minimum threshold (for legal purposes).

In this use case, we will create a basket promotion with 10% discount on all items (except for alcohol products) with 25$ minimum basket value trigger.

## Prerequisites
---

- Point of sales must be integrated with Synerise promotion engine to calculate discounted values of basket items.
- Product feed must be uploaded to catalog.

## Security configuration
---
Before you start working with this hub, if you are a Synerise customer or partner, consider reading [the section about denylisting events](/docs/settings/tool/api#denylist). This natively accessible configuration will allow you to manage the restrictions in points management that may help you prevent fraud.

## Process
---

In this use case, you will go through the following steps:
1. [Create a list of excluded items](/use-cases/promotion-for-entire-basket#create-a-list-of-excluded-items).
2. [Create a promotion](/use-cases/promotion-for-entire-basket#create-a-promotion).

## Create a list of excluded items
---

In order to exclude forbidden items from calculating basket value, you need to create a filter in a product catalog, which will contain all items you would like to exclude from this promotion.

1. Go to **Assets > Catalogs** and find your product catalog. 
2. Click the <img src="/api/docs/image/54176ad07f146575310749eba44b7c2f42c1b327/icons/filter-on-list.png" alt="Filter icon" class="icon"> icon. 
3. Click **Define**.  
4. Enter the name of the filter and define the conditions of the filters as presented in the image below:

## Create a promotion

Once you've defined filter with alcohol products, create a promotion for entire basket.
1. Go to <img src="/api/docs/image/54176ad07f146575310749eba44b7c2f42c1b327/icons/ai-hub-icon.svg" alt="AI Hub icon" class="icon" > **AI Hub > Regular Promotions > Add promotion**. 
2. Select the **For entire cart** option.
3. In the **Audience** section, select a group of customers for whom the promotion will be activated. Confirm your selection, by clicking **Apply**.   
4. In the **Content** section, define the name, description, and an image of the promotion. Confirm the settings by clicking **Apply**.
5. In **Type & limits** section:  
    1. As a Discount type, choose **Percentage**.
    2. In the Cart section, as the minimum value, enter `25`.
6. In the **Schedule** section, define the distribution period.
7. In **Exclude items** section choose previously created filter from the dropdown in **Filtered items** section.
