Checkout Deals

SellerAdmin

A checkout deal is a discount on the cart. It can apply automatically, or only when the customer enters a coupon code. Use it for offers such as 10% off when a customer spends a certain amount, or buy two and get one free.

In a cart with several sellers

A customer's cart can hold products from many sellers:

  • A seller's deal only discounts that seller's products in the cart, including catalog products the seller sells.
  • Conditions such as Subtotal count only that seller's products.
  • Sellers can't offer free shipping or shipping discounts.
  • The store's own cart rules don't discount seller products.

Create a checkout deal

  1. Go to Marketing >> Checkout Deals.
  2. Click Create Checkout Deal.
  3. Fill in the Deal, Details and Advanced tabs, described below.
  4. Click Save Checkout Deal.

You'll see Checkout deal created successfully.
