An automatic discount is a discount that is applied without the need to enter a promo code.
Discounts can either be automatically applied via the product, or the discount can be applied at the checkout process.
Product Discount
This discount will make the ‘product tile’ on the home page, as well as the product page show the previous price, the percentage/value discount and the new price.
To create this, go to the ‘Promotions’ tab in the dashboard and then click ‘create’ a new promotion. After which, you will need to pick a ‘product discount’ and to fill in the details of this promotion.
A video on how to do this is shown below.
Checkout Discount
A checkout discount is only shown at the checkout stage.
If the user has not met the criteria, the discount will still appear as an option that would be ‘available’ (without it being applied or reducing the price), but when the person clicks on it to use it, they will be prompted on why they aren’t able to use the offer. In this case, the £99.99 product did not meet the criteria of having to spend £100 or above.
The below video shows how to create a new automatic checkout promotion.
