Fixed Product (Fixed Amount) Discount

Fixed Amount Discount coupon means when a customer uses the coupon they will get a fixed amount discount mentioned on the coupon. The customer receives a set amount of discount per item. Whatever the total order amount is they will get the same amount discount.

For example: 3 t-shirts of $20 each with a coupon for $10 off applies a discount of $30.

To use this option, select Product Discount from Discount Type drop-down.

This will also show when you view all your coupons from the Vendor Dashboard as Fixed Amount under Coupon Type.

Product Percentage (%) Discount

Product Percentage Discount means when a customer uses the coupon in his/her order then s/he will get a discount depending on his order total amount. He/she will get a discount of the percentage mentioned on the coupon of their total order.

To use this option, select Product % Discount from Discount Type drop-down.

Fixed Cart (%) Discount

In the fixed cart discount, customers will get a fixed total discount for the entire cart. Let’s say if anyone purchases products and the cart contains two (2) t-shirts at $30 each = $60, a coupon for $10 off gives a discount of $10 for the entire amount.

Note: This will work if the single seller mode is enabled.

So let’s see how to add fixed cart discount on an online shop:-

Select the Fixed Cart Discount from the drop-down menu.

Select the requirement that users must meet to receive free shipping from the “Free Shipping Requires” dropdown:

No requirement — Offer Free Shipping to all customers in that shipping zone.
A valid free shipping coupon — Free Shipping is available if the customer uses a coupon that offers free shipping
A minimum order amount — Free Shipping is available if the customer spends a minimum amount. Set this amount in the Minimum Order Amount field, which will appear if you choose this option.
A minimum order amount OR a coupon — Free shipping is available if the customer spends a minimum amount or the customer uses a coupon that offers free shipping.
A minimum order amount AND a coupon — Free shipping is available only if the customer spends a minimum amount and the customer uses a coupon that offers free shipping.

Free Shipping Requirements

Free Shipping – Minimum Order Amounts: If you select one of the minimum order amount options, a checkbox will appear: Apply minimum order rule before coupon discount.

Box is unchecked: If an order meets the “minimum order amount” for free shipping by using the order amount after applying a coupon discount (if an order is $40 and a customer applies a $20 coupon, the order amount of $20 is used to check eligibility for free shipping).
Box is checked: the order amount before a coupon discount will be used to determine if the minimum order amount for free shipping is met (if an order is $30 and the customer applies a $10 coupon, the undiscounted order amount of $30 is used to determine if the order is eligible for free shipping).

How to Create Free Shipping Coupon from Vendor Dashboard

In order to create the free shipping coupon, go to Vendor dashboard–> Coupons–> Add New Coupon.

While creating the coupon, don’t forget to check the “Allow free shipping” option.
