Coupons and Deals

SellAuth has four ways to discount an order, and they solve different problems.

​

Coupons

Created under Coupons. Buyers enter the code at checkout, which requires Show Coupon Code Textbox to be on in your checkout settings. Your plan sets how many coupons you can have. Code is what buyers type. Type is either a percentage off or a fixed amount off, and Discount is the value. For fixed amounts, the currency follows the product.

​

Limiting who can use it, and when

Count Uses decides when a redemption is counted against those limits:

• When Order Paid counts only completed orders
• When Checkout Starts counts as soon as the code is applied

Counting at checkout stops a strictly limited code from being claimed more times than intended while payments are still pending. Counting on payment is more forgiving, because abandoned checkouts do not consume uses.

​

Scope

By default a coupon applies to everything. Turn off Apply to All Products and pick specific products or variants instead. Payment methods limits the coupon to selected methods, and leaving it empty allows all of them. Restricting a code to the methods that cost you least reduces what the discount costs to run.

​

Volume discounts

Set per variant, inside the product. Each tier is a quantity and a percentage, so tiers of 10 units at 5% and 50 units at 10% reward larger orders. Disable Volume Discounts when a Coupon is applied stops the two stacking. Turn it on if your margins cannot absorb both at once.

​

Quantity deals

Created under Quantity Deals. These are buy-more-get-more offers on one product or variant. Buy 3, discount 1, at 100% is a classic buy two get one free. Buy 2, discount 1, at 50% is a softer version of the same idea. Start and end dates work as they do on coupons, and leaving both empty runs the deal indefinitely.

​

Bundle offers

Created under Bundle Offers. A bundle triggers when the cart contains a specific combination of products, each with a required quantity. Set the products and quantities that must be present, then a discount as either a percentage or a fixed amount off the bundle total. Max uses per cart and Priority work as they do for quantity deals. Bundles are the tool for pushing a specific combination, as opposed to discounting each product separately and leaving the combination to chance.

​

How they interact

Priority decides the order in which quantity deals and bundle offers are evaluated, so set it deliberately when a cart could qualify for more than one. The interaction that needs configuring is coupons against volume discounts, which stack unless you disable it on the variant. Before running a campaign, build a realistic cart on your own storefront and check that the total comes out where you expect.
