This specific type of discount allows you to create discount rules based on the cart contents.
To create a new rule, go to the tab Dynamic Rules, click on the + Add rule button and select the Cart discount template or click on Set a cart discount.
Now, enter a name for this rule in order to easily identify it among those you will create, and give it a priority. To learn more about rule priorities, please go to this page.
Let’s now analyze the other options available for this rule type:
Trigger options
- Apply discount: choose whether to always apply the rule or only when specific conditions are met. By selecting the latter option, you can add the cart conditions by clicking on the Add conditions button. To learn how to create conditions, please go to this page.
If the conditions are met in the cart, the rules will apply based on their priority, so for example, you can apply a 50% (rule with priority 1) and an additional 20% (rule with priority 2) on the same products.
Note: there are two distinct priority lists for rules Price Rules and Cart Discounts. Even though they are listed in a unique list, they have a separate priority, because one applies to the cart, others at the product level.
