Creating New Discounts

Updated 3 weeks ago

Discounts allow you to create promotional sales in order to up sell different brands, product types, customers groups, etc. All discounts are centered around either offering a % or $ amount off of a purchase. However, you have the option to pick between different conditions in order to build out exactly how you want this discount to apply and who you want it to apply too.
