Automatic Discounts
Note: This feature is not available on every Ecommerce tier plan. If the feature is not available for your plan, you will see the corresponding notification.
With the Store dashboard, percent (X% off) or absolute value ($X off) discounts that depend on the order subtotal can be set up.
These discounts are automatically calculated and applied at checkout to qualified orders. Unlike discounts for individual products that are aimed at highlighting them, automatic discounts will work on all products in store once the criterion (the order subtotal) is met.
Setting up Automatic Discounts
To set up automatic discounts, first, the minimum order subtotal needs to be indicated(where discount starts). Then it is needed to choose whether the discount is a percentage or it is a fixed value. And after that – define the discount amount that will be applied to the whole order. Additionally, discount tiers can be added.
For example, the following discount is to be created: if a customer spends $200 or more, they will get a 10% discount. And in the discount tiers were added, it can be a 10% discount for $200-$499,99 orders and a 15% discount for orders that are over $500.
To set up such an automatic discount in store:
- From Store management, go to Marketing → Automatic Discounts.
- Click Add Discount in the Based on Subtotal section.
- Enter a value into the Order Subtotal field:
4. In the Discount drop-down, choose whether the discount is in percents or it is an absolute value:
- Enter the discount value:
- (Optional) Add discount tiers, if needed, by clicking Add Discount again:
- Save the changes.
That’s it! Now the discount will be applied to any customer in-store as long as they reach the designated subtotal.
The discount will be automatically calculated in the Shopping Cart during the checkout:
In case the discount (or its tier) needs to be removed, just click on the trash bin next to it in theBased on Subtotal section and click Save.
Using Automatic Discounts for Storewide (total) Sales
Use automatic discounts to run a storewide sale. They don’t require the customer to input any sort of a coupon code at checkout.
To launch a storewide sale such as 10% off the entire catalog, simply set up an automatic discount for some minimal order subtotal (e.g. for all orders over $1) so that the discount applies to all customer orders.
