Creating Shop Discounts
What is a discount.
The shopping cart system allows you to give discounts/gift vouchers to clients to reduce the amount they will pay for a single item, or all items in their shopping cart. This can either be a percentage or a fixed value, and can be used either an unlimited or limited amount of times.
Examples of its use include:
- Sending a discount to every new person who get added to your database ($10 off your first purchase)
- Discounts for sales (eg: 20% off everything)
