• Buy three bags with a 10% disocunt
• Buy 5 t-shirts for $100
• On every 10 bottles, get a $10 discount

Category Tier – Percent Discount

Example

The rule in this example is – “Get 10% discount on buying 2 bags”. This discount can be applied once per order, because the “Maximum Number of Groups” is 1.

Note: In our example, bag is any product that belongs to category 4.

Cart examples for this rule:

• Customer has 1 bag (10$), 1 bag (15$) in cart. The discount amount is 2.5$.
• Customer has 1 bag (10$), 2 bags (20$ each), 2 bags (30$ each) in cart. The discount amount is 3$. (Since the “Maximum Number of Groups” is 1 and the “Products ordered by” is “Cheapest” – the rule is only applied on the 2 first cheapest bags).

Upsell cart hints example for this rule:

Customer has 1 bag in cart. The upsell cart hint is “Add one more bag, to get a set of 2 bags with 10% discount!” –

Category Tier – Fixed Discount

Example

The rule in this example is – “Get 2$ discount on buying 3 T-shirts”.

Note: In our example, T-shirt is any product that belongs to category 16.

Cart examples for this rule:

• Customer has 2 T-shirts (10$ each), 2 T-shirts (15$ each) in cart. The discount amount is 2$.
• Customer has 2 T-shirts (10$ each), 2 t-shirts (15$ each), 1 T-shirt (18$) and 1 T-shirt (20$) in cart. The discount amount is 4$. (There are 2 groups of 3 Tshirts)

Upsell cart hints example for this rule:

• Customer has 1 t-shirt in cart. The upsell cart hint is “Add 2 more t-shirts, to get a set of 3 t-shirts with $2 discount!”

Category Tier – Fixed Price

Example

The rule in this example is – “Get 2 shorts for 40$”. Maximum discount amount is 50$.

Note: In our example, short is any product that belongs to category 19.

Cart examples for this rule:

• Customer has 1 short (30$) and 1 short (15$) in cart. The discount amount is 5$. (Because the customer paid 40$ instead of 45$)
• Customer has 2 shorts (30$ each), 1 shorts (40$ each) and 1 short (50$). The discount amount is 20$. (Because the customer paid 40$ instead of 60$. Also, since the “Maximum Discount Amount” is 50$, the rule hasn’t been applied on the next two T-shirts, because then the discount amount would exceed 50$).

Upsell cart hints example for this rule:

• Customer has 2 shorts in cart. The upsell cart hint is “You've got a set of 2 shorts, for $40 only. Add 2 more shorts, to get your next set for $40 only!”
