F.A.Q.

  • Q: Can I edit a promotion’s objectives while it’s running?
    • A: You can modify a promotion at any time by clicking on the promotion and changing its parameters, then clicking on the save button.
  • Q: If I modify a promotion directly on a delivery app, will it override the parameters I set on Otter?
