Global Discounts page lets you define discounts for the overall order. In other words, discounts set as Global Discounts are applied to the Order Total.
Global discount management is extremely streamlined. The figure below shows an example of Global Discounts page with defined discounts:
Global discounts are displayed as a list. Each row specifies a discount in a given Order Subtotal range, which means that a discount is applied only if the customer's order subtotal falls into that range. If no string is found for an order (i.e. order subtotal doesn't fall in any of the ranges), then no discount is applied.
Any order can be switched on or off. If a discount is marked as disabled, it doesn't apply to any orders at all.
When creating a new discount, you need to define an Order Subtotal range to specify how this discount is applied, and then enter discount as an absolute monetary value or a rate calculated against order subtotal.
The resulting discount is subtracted from Order Total after calculating taxes and shipping cost.
Taxes and shipping cost are counted against Order Subtotal before discount.
After an order is completed, an administrator can view the value of global discount by accessing Order Info pages in Admin Zone.
Manage Coupons and Promo Codes
Coupons and Promo codes are effective marketing tools widely used to boost online sales. The Manage Coupons/Promo Codes page is designed for you to create, modify and delete coupons and Promo codes.
You can add a new Promo Code by clicking the Add Promo Code button. In the window that appears (shown below), you can specify the details of your Promo code or coupon.
To edit a Promo code created previously, click the Edit button. Click Delete to delete an existing Promo code or coupon.
While browsing your storefront, customers will be able to use registered Promo codes and/or coupons to receive their discounts.
A customer enters the coupon code or Promo code during checkout. The storefront interface for this operation looks roughly like this (you may get a different-looking interface):
If an active coupon code or Promo code is entered, an appropriate discount is applied to Order SubTotal.
