Add [flat-value] adjustment [type] to [ShoppingCart] based on

[comparison] of [OrderData] to [threshold]

This is an activation on the Shopping Cart that adds a ﬂat adjustment to the cart

based on how the speciﬁed order data parameter compares to the threshold

parameter. An adjustment in this context represents a fee or discount on the total

order. The threshold parameter represents the amount to which the order data is

compared to determine whether the adjustment is applied, where the order data

parameter can be the total purchase, total weight, or total quantity of the

shopping cart. Possible examples would be applying a handling fee if the total

weight or total quantity exceeds a certain amount or applying a discount based on

a purchase greater than a speciﬁed amount. Applied adjustments can be displayed

in the Shopping Cart display.

This contract applies a ﬂat adjustment speciﬁed in the 'Flat Adjustment'

parameter if the speciﬁed data parameter exceeds the threshold. A related contract

is available to apply percentage adjustments in this manner. Note that these

adjustments are global to the order and are not relevant to speciﬁc line-items in

the shopping cart. Additional contracts are available to provide discounts at the

product (that is, line-item) level.
