You can activate purchase discounts for your store. Purchase discounts apply to all customer orders that include products in the details of which you selected the 'Apply global discounts' check box. Purchase discounts do not require your customers to enter any type of "code" to get the discount. They are normally used to provide automatic savings on every customer order that is over a certain amount.
Note. The system checks if a purchase discount needs to be calculated and applied to the order based on the order subtotal. The 'Order Subtotal' is the cost of all products included into the order before any discounts or sales tax are applied. If the Subtotal is greater than a certain amount, the customer gets a purchase discount. If, besides a global purchase discount, a discount coupon is applied, the coupon savings amount is deducted from what remains of the subtotal after the application of the purchase discount.
Click on Discounts in the Inventory menu, the 'Edit purchase discounts' form will appear.
Enter the Order Subtotal for which you want to set a discount. Here the Order Subtotal is the cost of all products in cart before taxes and discounts are applied. For example, if you set the value in the Order Subtotal field to 1000.00, the discount will be applied when a customer orders a product or products for the sum of $1000.00 or over. The order total will be lowered automatically after the discount savings are applied.
Enter the discount value into the 'Discount' field.
Select the Discount type from the drop-down list (absolute or percent value). Absolute discount is a flat value expressed in the current monetary units. Percent value is how many percent of the order total the customer gets off.
Select the Membership group to which the discount should be applied.
Click on Add/Update.
To delete a discount, click on Delete next to the discount you want to be deleted.
