Discount validity

Here, you can apply the discount either on all stores or restrict it to some stores by using the include / exclude option.

Click on 'Included stores' and select the relevant ones from the drop-down list.
To exclude, click on 'All stores except excluded stores' and select the ones to be left out.

Validity period

For every discount type that is selected, specify the dates for which the discount is valid.

Requirement & Effect

Requirement:

You can create the different types of discount based on the following requirements:

• Minimum quantity of items: Set the number of items that the customer must purchase to avail the discount. Specify if you want to include all or specific items* to be eligible for discount.

• Purchase amount: Define the minimum and/or maximum purchase amount in order to receive the discount. Specify if you want to include all or specific items* to be eligible for discount.

• Discount on any purchase: Choose whether you want to discount all items in the purchase or specific items* only.

*specific items: You can select specific items using either Brand, Collection, Product Group, Season or Tag.

For example:

Suppose that you have tagged some of your products as 'winter2022' (via Catalog or Deliveries) and at the end of the season have decided to offer a winter sale of 50% off.

To include these specific items in the winter sale, configure the requirement that you have chosen.

To do so, select 'Specific items' in Apply to items section and then search for 'winter2022' under Tag.

It is possible to include or exclude items from a Discount at Collection level:

In collection: This option will apply Discount to the items within the selected collection.

All products except collection: This option will apply a discount to all items except those in the selected collection.

Effect:

You can select a desired effect to fulfill a specific requirement for the discount. 

Choose whether you want to define a new price for the item, apply a percentage or a fixed amount discount, give a free item where the free discount is applied to the lowest priced item, or use price list (for instance, give discounted prices for customer club members).
