OrderGroup.Promotions is 0

Hello,

I'm having trouble figuring out promotions.
If I have a promotion and I call CartHelper.Runworkflow("CartValidate"), should it automatically add promotions(which conditions match with Cart's LineItem... or with Order... ) to the OrderForm?
If it does not add promotion to the order automatically, then how should it be implemented, through CouponCode ?
Can I add a promotion to the order via CouponCode ? 

I tried different approaches. I added CouponCode to MarketingContext, then tried CartHelper.Runworkflow("CartValidate") method and also the approach descibed on episerver/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-Commerce/8/Marketing/Using-calculate-discount-activity/ page.

But when I start debugging and workflow gets to the RemoveDiscountsVNextActivity.RemoveDiscounts() method where order.Promotions is checked, it's empty. And of coure the next workflow CalculateDiscountsVNextActivity the order.Promotions is 0.

Any suggetions and tips are welcome. I want to understand what I do not understand.
Regards,
A

Hi,

It looks like you're using the new promotion engine. Please note that this engine is a work in progress and only promotions created for that will work when it's enabled.

All the promotions created in Commerce Manager can only be processed by the old engine. So you should turn off the new promotion engine to make it work.

Regards,
