Overview

Cart Discount promotions can be created to promotion codes give your customers either a percentage or dollar discount on their order. To be eligible, the customer simply needs to meet a minimum spend requirement.

If you like, you can even exclude certain products from the promotion. Excluded products will not count toward the spend requirement, and may or may not be discounted. 

In the example below, we'll create a Cart Discount promotion for '20% off orders over $250'. This promo will exclude exercise machines.

   Tip
   Note that the spend requirement is based on the inc-GST total for B2C, and the ex-GST total for B2B. Also note that for B2B scenarios, any customer-based discounts will still be honoured; this discount will be on top of that.

   
   

9. Lastly, click Next you can specify products to be excluded. Click Add and specify any products you want to exclude from this promo.
   You can specify by product code, ERP stock group, or category. You can even use a combination of all three if that's what you need.

   • Or a combination of all of the above!
