Test Adobe Instant Deal Registration in Sandbox

The following steps provide the test workflow:

1. Discover Instant Deal Registration opportunities by using the GET /v3/flex-discounts?categories=DEAL_REGISTRATION endpoint.
2. Based on the response, submit a Preview Order or Create Order request for the applicable product. No need to pass any code or ID for applying the deal registration.
3. From the Get Order API response, verify whether isDealRegistered=true to confirm that Instant Deal Registration was successfully applied.
4. When fetch-price=true, you will also see parameters such as earnedDealRegPerUnit and earnedDealRegAmount for qualifying line items and totalEarnedDealRegAmount in the pricing summary.

Interpret isDealRegistered as follows:

• true: Instant Deal Registration was auto-injected, all conditions passed, and the deal registration amount was applied.
• false: Instant Deal Registration was auto-injected, but qualification failed. Deal registration amount fields are omitted.
• Absent: Instant Deal Registration was not injected or evaluated for the line item.

Test renewal credit

Use this scenario for customers who have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro and purchase Acrobat Studio. It supports Commercial (COM), Government (GOV), and Education (EDU) market segments.

To qualify, the customer must renew at least 90% of their prior-term Acrobat-family licenses. These licenses include Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, and Acrobat Studio. Both previously renewed licenses and licenses included in the current order count toward the renewal requirement.

Eligible purchase combinations

• Customers with Acrobat Standard Team or Acrobat Pro Team can purchase either Acrobat Studio Team or Acrobat Studio Enterprise.
• Customers with only Acrobat Standard Enterprise or Acrobat Pro Enterprise can purchase Acrobat Studio Enterprise only.

Additional Acrobat Studio requirement

• If the customer already has Acrobat Studio licenses, the total Acrobat Studio licenses renewed must exceed the prior-term Acrobat Studio license count. Include both previously renewed licenses and licenses in the current order. Count Acrobat Studio Team and Acrobat Studio Enterprise licenses together.
• A customer who holds only Acrobat Studio cannot receive this Instant Deal Registration for an Acrobat Studio-to-Acrobat Studio renewal or change. The customer must also hold Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro.

Discovery and other conditions

• Use discovery APIs to get the applicable Acrobat Studio offer and its Instant Deal Registration amount.
• Renewal orders can qualify during the customer's renewal period. Orders for adding licenses can qualify after the anniversary date, within the customer's renewal period.
• For a three-year commitment (3YC), Instant Deal Registration fails qualification if a flexible discount code is included on the same line item. This restriction applies even if the flexible discount fails qualification. Without a flexible discount code, the service evaluates the deal against the qualification requirements.
• For a customer without a three-year commitment (non-3YC), the service can evaluate the deal with or without a flexible discount code on the same line item. A permitted combination does not guarantee an Instant Deal Registration.
• No need to send an Instant Deal Registration code. The service adds the applicable deal automatically. Read the order response to find the result.

Case matrix

Use these scenarios to test Instant Deal Registration qualification and the order response. Set fetch-price=true to check Instant Deal Registration amounts.

Validate responses

• Validate the offer and the details returned by discovery across COM, GOV, and EDU. Do not infer the percentage from the segment.
• isDealRegistered is true when qualification passed, false when qualification failed, and absent when Instant Deal Registration was not injected or evaluated.
• For an applied line item, earnedDealRegAmount equals earnedDealRegPerUnit x quantity.
• totalEarnedDealRegAmount equals the sum of the qualifying line item amounts.
• The deal registration amount does not change discountedPartnerPrice, lineItemPartnerPrice, or totalLineItemPartnerPrice.
• On a return, the deal registration amount applied to the original transaction is reversed; returned amount fields are not negative.
