Cart Discounts

They are useful when creating Discounts for the following scenarios:

• Free shipping discounts or free shipping over a certain cart amount
• Seasonal sales for a group of products
• Membership or customer group discounts

Create a Cart Discount

• To discount the total price on a cart, see Total price.
• To discount items in a cart, see Item.
• To offer discounts such as "Buy one, Get one (BOGO)", see Buy and Get.
• To group related products together and sell them at a combined (often discounted) price, see Discount bundles.
• To offer free or discounted shipping cost for a cart, see Shipping.
• To add a gift item to a cart with a purchase, see Gift item.

Total price

To create a Cart Discount that targets the total price of the Cart, do the following:

1. Go to Discounts > Add discount.
2. Click Add cart discount.
3. For Cart discount type, select Numeric.
4. In the General Information section, add basic information about the Cart Discount.
   • For Cart discount name, enter localized names for the Cart Discount.
   • Optional: For Cart discount description, enter localized descriptions for the Cart Discount.
   • Optional: For Cart discount key, enter a unique identifier value for the Cart Discount.
   • Optional: For Store, select the Stores for which the Cart Discount can apply.
   • For Rank (sortOrder), enter the rank (a decimal value between 0-1) for the Cart Discount. It determines the importance of the Cart Discount among other Discounts; a larger value is ranked higher.
   • Optional: For Stacking options, select the Do not apply any further cart discounts after this one checkbox if no other Cart Discounts should apply on a Cart after this Discount. Based on the ranking of the Cart Discount, any Cart Discounts with a lower value are ignored.
     If other Cart Discounts with different effects apply on a Cart, this discount applies last—regardless of its sort order and the stacking setting of the other Cart Discounts.

     The sort order of this discount only determines its ranking among other similar Cart Discounts (targeting the Total Price). As a result, when the Do not apply any further cart discounts after this one checkbox is selected, the application of further discounts is ignored only when there are other Cart Discounts targeting the Total Price (with a lower sort order).
   • Optional: For Discount code, select Required if the Cart Discount must apply only when a Discount Code is applied to a Cart.
   • Optional: For Valid from, select the date/time from which the Cart Discount is valid.

   • For Apply this effect to, select Total Price.
   • For Discount type, select how the total Price of the Cart will be discounted.
   • For Discount value, enter the discount value that will apply.
6. In the Under these cart conditions section, if you select Apply to specific carts, define the criteria under which the Cart Discount should apply.
   • For the Where field, select a rule.
     • If you select all of these are true, all rules defined must be true for the Cart Discount to apply.
     • If you select all of these are not true, all rules defined must be false for the Cart Discount to apply.
     • If you select at least one of these are true, any rule defined must be true for the Cart Discount to apply.
