Cofunding deals: Commission discount and Shared discount (co-funded)
Cofunding deals are deals where noon shares the discount with you on eligible products. You offer a lower price, and noon either charges you a lower commission on every deal sale or pays part of the discount itself. Enrolled products carry the deal badge for the campaign period.
There are two types of Cofunding deals, and each has its own tab in the tool:
Why join a Cofunding deal
noon shares the discount, so you reach a sharper price for less margin than a discount you fund alone.
Enrolled products carry the deal badge and appear on the deal page.
Eligibility is set by noon per product. Only eligible products appear in the Add products list, so there is no guesswork.
Every deal carries a category tag, so you can filter to the deals that fit your catalog.
How enrollment works
Enrollment has two steps: pick the schedule, then add your products. Nothing is saved until you click Submit campaign.
Step 1: Select schedule
In the Promotions Center, find Cofunding deals under Join an existing deal and click Join deal.
Choose the tab for the deal type you want: Commission discount or Shared discount. Each tab has its own list of upcoming deals.
Each row shows the deal dates, the deal name, its category tag, and the number of products you already have enrolled. Use the Category filter to show only the deals for your categories.
Select the deal you want and click Select products.
Deals are shown up to two months ahead, and enrollment closes a few days before each deal starts. The Know more link on the page sums it up: Cofunding campaigns share the discount with noon on eligible products.
Step 2.a: Add products for a Commission discount
The header shows the deal type, the deal dates, and the deal code (for example, cameras-commission-subsidy-deals-sep-26-ae), with a View enrolled products link that counts the products you already have in the deal and a Why are some products not shown? link.
For each product the list shows:
Base price: the product's current price.
Silver tier: the Silver tier price and the commission change for it, for example 8% to 4%.
Gold tier: the Gold tier price and the commission change for it, for example 8% to 2%. Gold is the lower price and the lower commission, and it is selected by default.
Deal price: the price from the tier you pick. This is what the shopper pays and what your commission is charged on.
Committed units: the units you commit to the deal, up to 50 per product. Your current stock is shown under the field.
Tick the checkbox next to each product you want to enroll.
Pick Silver or Gold for each product. Gold stays selected unless you change it.
Enter the Committed units, up to 50 per product.
Click Submit campaign.
This screen has no Export or Upload, so products are enrolled one by one. Changes are saved only when you submit.

Step 2.b: Add products for a Shared discount (co-funded)
The header shows the deal type, the deal dates, the deal code (for example co-funded-deals-20-kitchen-ae) and the funding split, for example Funded by Seller 10% · noon 10%. The View enrolled products and Why are some products not shown? links are in the header too.
For each product the list shows:
Base price: the product's current price.
Seller funding: the part of the discount you fund.
Deal price: the price you commit, at or below the Max shown under the field. Your commission is charged on this price.
noon funding: the part of the discount noon pays. It is noon's percentage of the base price, as shown in the header.
Consumer price: what the shopper pays. It is the same as the deal price.
Committed units: up to 50 per product. Your current stock is shown under the field.
noon funding is noon's percentage of the base price. Seller funding is the base price minus the deal price minus noon funding. If you lower the deal price, your seller funding goes up and noon's share stays the same.
Tick the checkbox next to each product you want to enroll.
Check the Deal price. You can enter a lower price, but not one above the Max shown.
Check the Seller funding, noon funding and Consumer price the tool calculates for you.
Enter the Committed units, up to 50 per product.
Click Submit campaign.
To enroll in bulk, click Export this list on the Add products page.
Then fill in the deal price and committed units for the products you want in the Excel file.
Then click Upload, and in the pop-up click on Choose your file and then click on Upload.
You can also upload from Promotions > Uploads/downloads. Changes are saved only when you submit.
Example: Shared discount
What happens after you submit
noon reviews your products before the deal starts. Accepted products go live on the deal start date and carry the deal badge until the deal ends.
Follow the status of each product under My campaigns. Click on the Campaigns tab and click the Manage button for the campaign you want to review.
You can also check the enrolled SKUs by clicking the View enrolled products link in the deal header, which shows what you already have in the deal.
Why are some products not shown?
The Add products list shows only products that are eligible for the selected deal. Cofunding eligibility is set by noon per product, and each deal is tied to a category. A product is left out when it is not eligible for the deal, for example because it is not live, is outside the deal's category, or is already in another deal for the same dates. Click Why are some products not shown? in the header for the reason that applies to your catalog. For rejection reasons after you submit, see Why was my product rejected or not shown?
