Discounts - Overview

Overview

In addition to the powerful discount features explained in this section, Squirrelcart supports easy to configure quantity based discounts which are discussed in the "Managing Your Store > Quantity Based Discounts" section of this documentation. This information is in a separate section of our documentation because it does not use discount records stored under "Settings > Discounts" to accomplish this.

Squirrelcart has a robust discount feature. It allows you to create just about every discount type you can think of. Discounts can be configured so that they are offered only when a certain set of conditions apply. These conditions allow you to offer discounts based on:

coupon codes
date
number of products in the cart
ship to country
ship to state
order total
weight total
group membership

There are 2 classifications of discounts:

Product and Category Based - Discount on one or more products. These discounts reduce the price of each line item at checkout.
Order Based - Discount on the order as a whole.
