    E.g. A discount for online credit card payments 


    Product name - Offers can also be allocated based on the product name. This can be applied to multiple products and is ideal to clear stocks of a single brand or a product. 


    Product quantity  - Once a certain product quantity is achieved, the customer will be able to enjoy the offer. This method is ideal to clear excess stock of a particular product or brand quickly.


    E.g. A 10% off will be granted if a customer purchases more than 3 items from a product/brand.

    E.g. Offers from the EU get a price reduction of 12%.


    Subtotal - The offer will apply if the subtotal amount of the order falls within the selected range. This offer type can be used to encourage bulk purchasing and high spenders.


    E.g. 12% discount for purchases over USD 25,000


    Step 17 - Select the type of condition.


    Step 18 - Type a value.


    Step 19 - Click on “Next”.


    How do I apply a new offer to the shipping discount?
