Discount types explained

Chamberly supports three discount types: percentage, fixed cart, and fixed product. Each behaves differently at checkout, so picking the right one matters for both pricing strategy and sponsor expectations.

• Decide the kind of discount you want to offer (proportional vs absolute).

• Have a sense of average order value so you can estimate impact.

• Open Marketing > Coupons and start a new or existing coupon.

1. In the coupon editor, locate the Discount type selector.

2. Pick Percentage for proportional discounts (e.g., 10% off the cart).

3. Pick Fixed cart for a flat dollar amount off the entire cart (e.g., $50 off).

4. Pick Fixed product for a flat dollar amount off each qualifying line item.

5. Enter the amount in the Amount field.

6. If using percentage, the value cannot exceed 100.

7. Save the coupon and test it in an incognito window.

• Use percentage when you want the discount to scale with cart size.

• Use fixed cart for simple, communicable promotions ("$100 off!").

• Use fixed product when you only want to discount specific items.

• Avoid combining heavy percentage discounts with low-margin sponsorships.

How are taxes handled?
Discounts are applied before tax in standard configurations.

Can fixed product apply to multiple items in one cart?
Yes, the discount applies once per qualifying line item.
