How do I create a Percentage Discount off a whole category or brand?

Running this type of promotion is a great way to drum up excitement for a new brand or category, and are generally time or usage limited.

1. Go to Discounts.



2. Click on Add Discount.

 

3. Choose a Name for your discount.



4. Enter or generate a Code.



5. Choose a Limit (if you need one).



6. Select a Discount Type.



7. Set a discount Value.



8. Make sure that Applies to all products is unchecked.



9. Click on
Add Rule inside the Include section. In the Products matching dropdown select Category or Brand depending on what you want to discount, and in the text box find the category or brand. Keep in mind that you can add several categories and brands into this rule. If you do add multiple categories or brands, make sure to set Products must match to Any Rules.

 



10. Set the Visibility of this discount to whatever you need. If you set the Start date to be sometime in the future, you can leave this set to inactive, as the discount will automatically activate when the Start date is hit.




11. Go ahead and set the date ranges here. It’s generally ok to have no end date on this type of discount if you have already set a usage limit, however if there is no usage limit, then we suggest having an End date.
