    Cart price rule - actions


  2. Set Apply to one of the following discount options:

    Percent of product price discountDiscounts item by subtracting a percentage from the original price. The discount applies to each qualifying item in the cart. For example: Enter 10 in Discount Amount for an updated price that is 10% less than the original price.
    Fixed amount discountDiscounts item by subtracting a fixed amount from the original price of each qualifying item in the cart. For example: Enter 10 in Discount Amount for an updated price that is $10 less than the original price.
    Fixed amount discount for whole cartDiscounts the entire cart by subtracting a fixed amount from the cart total. For example: Enter 10 in Discount Amount to subtract $10 from the cart total. By default, the discount applies only to the cart subtotal. To apply the discount to the subtotal and shipping separately, use the Apply to Shipping Amount option.
    Buy X get Y freeDefines a quantity that the customer must purchase to receive a quantity for free. (The Discount Amount is Y.)
    • Enter the Discount Amount as a number, without symbols. For example, depending on the discount option selected, the number 10 might indicate a percentage, a fixed amount, or a quantity of items.

    • For a Buy X get Y Free discount, enter the quantity in the Discount Qty Step (Buy X) field that the customer must purchase to receive the discount.

    • In the Maximum Qty Discount is Applied To field, enter the maximum quantity of the same product that can qualify for the discount in the same purchase.

    • Set Apply to Shipping Amount (Option toggle) as follows:

      YesApplies the discount amount separately to the subtotal and shipping amounts.
      NoApplies the discount amount only to the subtotal.


    • To stop processing other rules after this rule is applied, set Discard Subsequent Rules (Option toggle) to Yes. This setting prevents multiple discounts from being applied to the same product.

      YesPrevents any other pricing rules that may apply to a product from being applied. Discarding subsequent rules means that, in the event that multiple pricing rules apply to the same product, only the pricing rule with the highest defined priority (in a rule’s Priority field) will be applied to the qualifying product. This prevents multiple pricing rules from stacking and providing unintended additional discounts.
      NoAllows multiple pricing rules to apply to the same product. This could result in stacking and providing multiple discounts applied to your listing price.

      To discard subsequent rules, a pricing rule must use the defined priorities that are set in the Priority field of each rule, and multiple rules should not have the same defined priority. See Priority in the Add a New Rule step.

  3. Define as many additional conditions as needed for the action.

    To determine if free shipping is applied to orders that meet the conditions, set Free Shipping to one of the following:

    NoFree shipping is not available.
    For matching items onlyFree shipping is available only for items that match the conditions of the rule.
    For shipment with matching itemsFree shipping is available for any shipment that includes matching item(s).

4: Save and Test the Rule

  1. When complete, click Save Rule.

  2. Test the rule to make sure that it works correctly.

    Price rules are automatically processed with other system rules each night. When you create a new price rule, allow enough time for it to get into the system. Then, test the rule to make sure that it works correctly. As new rules are added, Magento recalculates the prices and the priorities accordingly.
