WooCommerce Cart Discount

Pro

WooCommerce Cart Discount Plugin

Automatically apply a percentage or fixed discount to the WooCommerce cart when it reaches a subtotal or item count threshold. A cart progress bar shows customers how close they are — no coupon code required.

Spend More, Save More — Automatic Cart Rewards

Cart discounts are the most effective tool for increasing average order value. A clear threshold — "spend $100, get 10% off" — gives customers a concrete incentive to add more items.

Subtotal threshold trigger
Set a minimum cart subtotal that must be reached before the cart discount applies.
Percentage or fixed discount
Apply a percentage off the entire cart or a fixed amount off the cart total.
Cart progress bar
A cart banner shows customers how much more they need to spend to unlock the discount — increasing conversion.
No coupon code required
The discount applies automatically when conditions are met — customers don't need to find or remember a code.
Eligibility conditions
Optionally restrict the cart discount to specific customer roles, first-time buyers, or purchase history segments.
Offer Safety Score included
Every cart discount promotion gets an Offer Safety Score — ensuring margin protection before you publish.

When to Use Cart Discounts

Use Cart Thresholds to Give Shoppers a Clear Next Step

Cart discounts are useful when the store wants to shape average order value. The key is making the reward visible before checkout and setting a threshold that is close enough to feel achievable.

Spend threshold

Spend $100 and get 10% off. A shopper at $82 sees that adding $18 unlocks the reward.

Free shipping-style goal

Offer free shipping when the cart reaches a qualifying subtotal and show the remaining amount in the cart.

Quantity threshold

Require a minimum number of cart line items when the campaign should encourage broader basket building.

Use Carefully

When Cart Discounts Can Become Too Broad

Avoid cart-wide discounts when product margins vary widely unless you review margin risk first.

Avoid thresholds that are too far above normal order value; customers may ignore a reward that feels unreachable.

Avoid hidden cart discounts. If the customer cannot see the progress message, the threshold cannot guide basket size.

FAQ

Cart Discount Questions

What is a WooCommerce cart discount?
A WooCommerce cart discount applies to the entire cart (or all items in the cart) rather than to a specific product. It is typically triggered when the cart subtotal or item count reaches a threshold.
Is cart discount available in Ezhance Free?
No. Cart discount is an Ezhance Pro feature. Ezhance Free includes Simple Product Discount and Bulk / Tiered Product Discount.
How is a cart discount different from a coupon?
A cart discount in Ezhance applies automatically when the cart conditions are met — no coupon code required. Ezhance also displays a progress bar in the cart showing how close the customer is to unlocking the discount.
What triggers a cart discount?
You can set a minimum cart subtotal (spend $X to unlock the discount) or a minimum line item count (buy X items to unlock). Eligibility conditions can also restrict who qualifies.
Can I show customers their progress toward a cart discount?
Yes. Ezhance Pro includes a cart banner / progress bar that shows customers how much more they need to spend or how many more items they need to add to unlock the cart discount.
