Manage Discounts
Discounts allow you to create and accept "virtual coupons", put your products temporarily "on sale", create promotional offers, create and sell gift certificates -- anything where you'd want to reduce your price without actually changing the standard price of our products in Seller Admin. Any discounts applied to an order would be shown in your E-junkie Transaction Log.
You can add new discounts or edit/delete existing discounts in Seller Admin > Add / Edit E-junkie Cart Discounts / Gift Coupons.
Existing Discounts
This menu lists any discounts you have already created. Select a discount and click Load to view/edit its settings, or click Delete to remove the selected discount.
Add/Edit Discounts
This is where you would create a new discount, or edit settings for an existing discount (after you select it from the Existing Discounts menu and click Load).
Discount Settings
- Product:
-
- Choose All Cart Items for a discount that can be applied to the Item Total or Shipping amount for any/all cart orders, regardless of which items are being purchased.
- Choose a specific product for a discount that only affects the purchase price of that item alone (make sure your discount amount is the same or less than the product price!).
- Discount Name:
- Brief description of the Discount for your own reference (this is not shown to buyers).
- Discount Code(s):
- Leave this blank if you want to apply the Discount automatically. If you will require buyers to enter a Discount Code to claim the discount before checkout, enter your desired Code(s) here. If providing a list of Codes that would all grant the same Discount, specify one code per line.
- Discount Expires:
- Set a date/time when the discount will become invalid, or set 0000-00-00 00:00:00 (or just leave the expiration blank) for a discount that will never expire until you manually delete it from your Seller Admin.
- Discount:
- Enter an amount and select whether that will be treated as a percent-off or a flat amount off. Product-specific discounts always take a flat amount off the per-unit price of the product.
- Applies To:
- Choose whether the Discount should be applied to the Item Total (order total not including Shipping nor Tax) or to Shipping & Handling.
- Max. Use Count:
- Maximum number of times the discount can be applied (e.g. useful for single-use discount codes, gift coupons, or "first 100 customers" types of promotion).
- Min. Item Quantity:
- Minimum number of items that must be in the cart in order to qualify for the discount. For product-specific discounts, this would be the quantity of just that particular item in the buyer's cart.
- Min. Item Total:
- Minimum total price (not counting tax or shipping) that must be met in order to qualify for the discount. For product-specific discounts, this would be the total price (price X quantity) of just that particular item in the buyer's cart.
