How to Add a Discount

The Aco Custom Discounts plugin for Shopify lets you create flexible discount rules based on various conditions such as product type, cart value, quantity of products, and more. It enables automatic discounts at checkout, supports percentage or fixed amount discounts, and allows stacking multiple rules.
Detailed explanation of available Discount types options given below:-

Product-based rules:

Fixed price of product price rule: This rule lets you apply a specific discount amount to a product’s price. For instance, you can set a $10 discount on a particular item, you can set this rule to automatically deduct $10 when the product is added to the cart.

Percentage of product price rule: This rule allows you to set the discount of a percentage of the product price. With this rule, you can apply a percentage-based discount to a product’s price. For instance, offering a 15% discount on a selected product will automatically reduce its price by that percentage at checkout.

Cart based discount rules:

Fixed price of cart total rule: This rule allows you to offer a fixed discount amount on the entire cart total. say, if you want to give customers a $20 discount when their cart value exceeds $100, this rule will apply that deduction automatically.

Percentage of the cart total rule: This rule provides a percentage-based discount on the cart’s total value. Say, If you set a 10% discount on all purchases over $200, customers will see that percentage deducted from their total at checkout.

Quantity-based discount rule: This rule allows you to set a discount based on the product quantity in the cart. For example, you can set a specific discount on the cart quantity of the product if it exceeds a particular quantity range.
