# Set Up Discounts

Bundle discounts encourage customers to add more items and increase average order value.

## Discount Types

The app supports tier-based bundle discounts.

You can configure tiers based on:

* Quantity selected
* Bundle order total

You can calculate discounts as:

* Percentage off
* Fixed amount off
* Fixed bundle price
* Amount off per item

## Example Quantity Discount

| Customer selects | Discount |
| ---------------- | -------- |
| 3 items          | 5% off   |
| 5 items          | 10% off  |
| 8 items          | 15% off  |

This works well for snack boxes, sample packs, beauty bundles, and mix-and-match offers.

## Example Order Total Discount

| Bundle total | Discount |
| ------------ | -------- |
| $50          | $5 off   |
| $100         | $15 off  |
| $150         | $30 off  |

This works well when products have different prices and you want the discount based on value instead of item count.

## How Discounts Apply

Discounts apply automatically at checkout. Customers do not need a discount code.

The app calculates the best matching tier based on your settings. If no tier is reached, no bundle discount is applied.

## Best Practices

* Make the first tier easy to reach.
* Keep discount messaging simple.
* Use 2 to 4 tiers, not too many.
* Test the checkout before launch.
* Avoid discounts so large that they reduce margin too much.

## Discount Testing Checklist

Before publishing:

1. Select enough products to reach the first tier.
2. Add the bundle to cart.
3. Go to checkout.
4. Confirm the discount appears.
5. Repeat for the highest tier.
6. Test a cart that does not qualify for a discount.

## Common Discount Issues

If the discount does not appear:

* Confirm the bundle has discount tiers configured.
* Confirm the bundle was added through the bundle page, not as individual products.
* Confirm the app setup status does not show a discount service issue.
* Contact support if the settings page says the discount service failed.
