Applying Discounts
With HitPay, you can manually add discounts to your cart.
Note:
- Percentage discounts can be applied to an entire cart order or to individual products within the cart.
- Fixed amount discounts can only be applied to an entire cart order.
- Discounts are applied before taxes by default.
A. Applying Discounts to an Entire Cart Order
Step 1. From the Cart page, click on the Add a Discount button
Step 2. Select a discount from the list and click Apply
Step 3. You can confirm the discount amount from the cart page. The applied discounts will appear as a line item under the Discounts section.
- For quick sale orders, Percentage discounts are applied to the entire cart.
- For products orders, Percentage discounts are applied to all products. You can apply/remove discounts to individual products afterwards.
B. Applying Discounts to Individual Products
Step 1. From the Cart page, click on the Add a Discount button
Step 2. Click on a specific product you would like to apply a discount on.
Step 3. Select a discount from the list of percentage discounts for that product by checking the checkbox.
Step 4. Click Update Cart
Step 5. You can confirm whether or not a discount is applied to the product by looking at the product line item in the cart. A discounted product will have the Discount label next to its original price.
B. Applying Multiple Discounts
If you apply multiple discounts to an entire cart, discounts will be stacked. This means that the discount amount will compound.
Here’s an example:
- A discount of 10% is added to a $100 order.
- HitPay calculates the discount amount to be $10. The remaining discounted order total is $90.
- A second discount of 5% is added to the order. This will be applied to the discounted total of $90, resulting in the second discount amount to be $4.5 instead of $5.
- Hence, the final discounted order total will be $85.5
When applying a combination of Fixed Amount and Percentage discounts, the Percentage Discounts will always be applied first and then followed by the Fixed Amount discounts.
Do note that Fixed Amount discounts will only be applied at the Cart Order level, and cannot be applied to individual products.
