How to Create Automatic Discounts
How to Create Automatic Discounts
Updated today

You must have "Full Access" or "Limited Access-Financials" permissions to create discount codes.

Automatic discounts are applied automatically during checkout according to the discount's conditions and do not require a discount code. Automatic discounts are typically used for Sibling Discounts, Buy One Get One or Early Bird.

For example, to create a sibling discount, one could create a $ off discount to be subtracted from the cart subtotal when 2 store items are purchased.

NOTE: Registrants must use Discount Codes as a part of the registration process. Registrants will not be able to use a discount code after completing registration.
