Introduction

Hello there! We're absolutely delighted to assist you in setting up promotional programs on your platform. Sometimes, you might want to provide your customers with the opportunity to combine different discount codes. We're here to guide you through this process in a simple, friendly, and understandable manner. So, let's jump right in!

How Discount combinations work

There might be instances where you want to offer your customers the chance to stack different discounts together. You have the option to choose from eligible combinations that allow your customers to benefit from the best possible total discount based on their cart. You can set up both automatic discounts and discount codes to combine.

Each discount that you create belongs to one of the following categories, depending on what the discount applies to:

Order discount
Product discount
Shipping discount

When you decide to let a discount combine with other discounts, you choose which categories of discounts it can combine with. For instance, if you create a discount code for 10% off an order, you can choose to let that discount code be combined with Product discount codes as well.

Multiple order discounts, product discounts, and shipping discounts can all apply to the same order. You can learn more about how different discounts combine. In some situations, when there are active automatic discounts on your store, and a customer also uses one or more discount codes, the best discount or combination of discounts automatically applies to the customer's cart.

If a customer enters more than one discount code during checkout that can't be combined, they'll see this message: "Discount couldn't be used with your existing discounts."

Types of Discounts

You can offer three types of discounts:

Order discount
Product discount
Shipping discount

You can combine these discounts in the following ways:
