Discounts

Discounts let you reduce a transaction total by a percentage, a flat amount per transaction, or a flat amount per unit on a transaction.

Discount entities hold information like:

• How the discount reduces the total of the transaction.
• Whether the discount is one-time or recurring.
• When the discount is valid to.
• Which items in your catalog the discount applies to.
• Whether this discount can be applied by customers using a code.

Discounts work with prices, transactions, checkouts, and subscriptions.

By default, discounts apply to the entire value of a transaction. You can link discounts to price entities to limit them to certain prices. For example, you can create a discount for subscription plans that won't work on other items.

Use discount codes to let customers apply discounts themselves at checkout, or pass a discount to a checkout to apply it automatically.

Discounts don't have to have codes. They can be applied manually to transactions as part of the sales process.

Discounts can be added to a discount group to organize them. You can only add a discount to one discount group at a time. You can list discounts by discount groups to see which discounts are in which groups.
