In addition to the standard discounts available per customer types, the Automatic Discounts section allows you to setup additional discounts based upon a number of criteria, including products in the cart. These discounts can take several forms, including goods total and shipping total discounts or cheapest product free etc. For instance, setting up an Automatic Discount that gives a 100% discount off the shipping cost when the goods in the cart total more than 100 GBP would equate to free shipping. Automatic discounts can also be shown on your front end store against products and sections that have products that qualify and full automatic lists, presented in a similar way to the search or section listing pages.
Automatic Discounts are shown as a separate line in the cart and at checkout, giving the total amount of all the discounts that are applicable to the order.
List Of Automatic Discounts
The list of Special Discounts is separated into two sections, those that give a discount on the goods total and those that give a discount off the shipping cost. The list also shows you the goods total level or quantity level that needs to be achieved for the discount to take effect, the customer account types it is applicable to and the actual discount percentage.
In addition each line has an ‘Edit’ and ‘Delete’ button and a new Automatic Discount can be added by clicking the ‘Add New Discount’ button at the bottom of the screen.
