Shopping Cart Discounts

A Shopping Cart Discount allows you to provide discounted prices for selected items, based upon the items that the customer has added to their shopping cart.

This allows you to create special offers in your online store that apply to all products, products in specific collections, orders over a certain amount, or custom product combinations. Combining them with custom collections also allows you to create complex discount rules.

You can create special rules to discount specific products based on whether another product is in your cart, so that if the required items have been added to your cart, the special offer item can be added to the cart at its discounted price.

No Coupon or Promotion codes are required for the customer to take advantage of the discount.
