Cart Discounts reduce the entire shopping cart total rather than individual product prices. They are ideal for spend-and-save campaigns, storewide sales, and free shipping promotions. Cart Discounts require Ezhance Pro.
Discount Types
- Percentage Discount — Reduces the cart total by a percentage (e.g., 10% off the entire order)
- Fixed Cart Discount — Reduces the cart total by a fixed amount (e.g., $20 off any order)
- Free Shipping — Removes the shipping cost from the order
How Cart Discounts Differ from Product Discounts
| Feature | Simple Discount | Cart Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Applies to | Individual product prices | Cart total |
| Uses Target Selection | Yes | No |
| Uses Eligibility Rules | Optional | Yes (controls qualification) |
| Spend-and-save campaigns | No | Yes |
Setup
- Go to Ezhance → Promotions → Create Promotion.
- Select Cart Discount as the promotion type.
- Enter a unique coupon code identifier, choose the discount type, and set the value.
- Configure Eligibility Rules to define when the discount applies (e.g., cart subtotal ≥ $100).
- Enable display components — the Cart Offer Display and Progress Message Card are most effective for cart discounts.
- Set schedule, priority, and usage limits, then save.
