Category discount

The Category discount allows you to create a discount on one or more categories just in one rule. You can create multiple rules so they can be enabled one by one, or one rule with all category discounts so they can be enabled with one click.

To create a new rule, go to the tab Dynamic Rules, click on the + Add rule button and click on Set a category discount.
