There’s a feature in the merchant dashboard that allows doing this. Here’s a step-by-step process:
1. From the merchant dashboard, go to the “Offers” tab.
2. Select the “Promotion” tab to choose your Daily Budget. The Daily Budget is the amount of money that you’re willing to spend to promote your items each day.
3. Return to the “Active” tab. To promote a particular item, just click on the “Promote” button that’s next to that product.
4. Next, choose your Cost Per Click (CPC) Limit. This limit is how much you want to spend whenever a customer purchases your promoted item.
5. Select the “Save” option to keep your changes.
6. If your Cost Per Click is higher than that of other merchants that also use the Promotion System, your offer will be on the top of the offers list.
