What does “Distribute Discounts Across Eligible Items In Checkout” mean?
- This option only works for Draft Order Discounts. If enabled, this option will distribute discounts among all eligible items on Checkout. They will appear in the same order that they were created.
For example, you have a tiered volume discount setup below:
Tiered Volume Discount Set-up
A customer orders:
5-qty of a tank top priced at $26, and
5-qty of a t-shirt priced at $19,
The customer will receive a 5% volume discount since he is ordering a total of 10-qty. 5% discount on the tank top priced at $26 is $1.30 discount per piece. While a 5% discount on the t-shirt priced at $19 is $0.95 discount per piece. Below is how the app will display the volume discount for each item in the order screen:
If this option is enabled and you have to refund products from the order for whatever reason, you won’t have to manually calculate the refund amount with the discount since it was already applied per product.
If disabled, the total discount amount is added as a single cart-level discount. This is important because it determines the refund amount for a single item in a multi-item, multi-discount order. Also, Shopify may remove sold-out products from the draft order and keep the entire discount!
