Overview
A coupon code created with Cart Price Rules applies discounts to items already added to the shopping cart, based on a set of conditions. The discount can be applied automatically as soon as the conditions are met, or when the customer enters a valid coupon code. When applied, the discount appears in the cart under the subtotal. A cart price rule can be used for a season or promotion by changing its status and date range.
Creating a Cart Price Rule
- On the Kano Admin panel sidebar, click Marketing > Cart Price Rules.
- Click Add New Rule on the button bar to open up the New Cart Price Rule page.
Fill in the Rule Name and Description fields.
Status box: Set the Status box to Active if you would like the rule to be enabled on your Kano Store website. You can set the status box to Inactive if you would like to temporarily disable the rule. Website(s) Select the Website(s) that you would like this rule to apply to. Customer Groups Select the Customer Groups or Companies to which this rule will apply to.
To select multiple groups, hold down the Crtl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac), and select your desired groups.
If necessary, generate a Coupon code. Coupon codes are used with cart price rules to apply a discount when a set of conditions are met. To use the coupon, the customer enters the coupon code in the shopping cart.
No Coupon: To have the cart rule applied to all items, set Coupon to 'No Coupon' and skip the coupon code section. With Coupon: To associate a coupon with a price rule, set Coupon to Specific Coupon, then complete the following fields:
- For Coupon code, create a code that the customer must enter to receive the discount.
- You can create your own coupon code by entering the code in the Coupon code field, or you can select Use Auto Generation to automatically generate a code.
- If you choose to use auto generation, scroll down and expand the Manage Coupon Codes section and fill in the necessary fields. Click Generate once you are complete.
Use per Coupon: Use per Coupon determines how many times a coupon code can be used. If there is no limit, use "0" or leave the field blank. Uses per Customer: Uses per Customer determines how many times a coupon code can be used by the same registered customer who belongs to any of the selected customer groups. If there is no limit, use "0" or leave the field blank.
This setting does not apply to guest shoppers who are members of the NOT LOGGED IN customer group, or to customers who shop without logging in to their accounts.
- Choose a Start Date and an End Date for the price rule to be active by clicking on the calendar icons.
- Enter a number in the Priority field to establish the priority of this rule in relation to others. The rule with the highest priority setting (with 1 being the highest priority) will become active for the product, and override conflicting price rules.
Define Pricing Actions
- Scroll down and expand the Actions section.
In the Apply field, select one option from the drop down menu:
Percent of product price discount: You can add a percentage discount from the regular price of each qualifying item in the cart (For example, entering '10' generates a 10% discount for each qualifying item). Fixed amount discount: You can add a fixed discount by entering a value that is to be subtracted from the regular price of each qualifying item in the cart (For example, entering '10' takes $10 off the regular price for each qualifying item). Fixed amount discount for whole cart: You can add a fixed discount by entering a value that is to be subtracted from the cart total (For example, entering '10' takes $10 off the entire cart total). Buy X get Y free: You can define a quantity that the customer must purchase to receive a quantity for free. - Enter the Discount Amount as a number without symbols. The symbols are dependent on the option you select from the Apply field.
- 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.
- If 'Buy X get Y free' is selected, enter the quantity that the customer must purchase to receive the discount in the Discount Qty Step (Buy X) field.
For Apply to Shipping Amount, select either Yes or No.
Yes: Applies the discount amount separately to the subtotal and shipping amounts. No: Applies the discount amount only to the subtotal. - If you would like to stop processing other rules, set Discard Subsequent Rules to Yes. This prevents customers from receiving multiple discounts for the same product.
- If you would like to add free shipping to your products, click on the drop down menu to select the appropriate option for Free Shipping.
- Once you are complete, click Save
| TIP: Test your rule to ensure that it is working correctly. |
