  4. New! Cova Promotions V2 Sync with Buddi

    New Feature

    Buddi now integrates with Cova Promotions V2. To enable this feature you must be using Cova Promotions V2.

    • Easy Sync: Set up your dollar off or percent off promos in Cova—Buddi handles the rest.
    • Local Timing: Your deals start and end on schedule, using your store’s local timezone and days.

     

    A couple of notes:

    • You can only use either Promotions V1 or V2 with Buddi—not both at the same time.
    • Bundled and BOGO promotions aren’t supported just yet.
