Google Merchant Center promotions are a feature that allows you to add coupons, discounts, sales, and more on Google Search, Google Shopping, and Google Images.
A common misunderstanding is that Google Promotions is a checkout redemption system, which means that you can not apply markdowns. Most merchants will have a discount running on all products before adding them to the basket. But Google Shopping Promotions are required to be redeemed in the checkout. For example, your promotion is (Get $25 discount when your Order $150 or more), than this calculation needs configuration in the checkout. Free Shipping or Discounted shipping needs to be configured in the checkout and can not be applied before it the item is added to the basket.
