The simplest way to handle this is to just calculate the
percentage from the item and enter in the flat amount in. For example if your product is $10.99 and you
want a 25% discount, you would enter in a flat amount of $2.75 as the flat
amount since 25% of $10.99 is $2.7475 you would round up, or you could round
down if you want.
There is also a back door way to have our system calculate
the percentage, but keep in mind this is not the suggested way. What you want to do is setup the discount and
in the field next to the grayed out Flat drop down menu enter in your discount
as less then one cent. For example a 25%
discount would be entered in as .0025.
Make sure to also give your discount a separate Name and Code,
or more then one code if you want. If
you want the discount to expire after a certain number of uses or on a specific date, set those up and click
Submit to save your new product specific percent based discount.
In an upcoming blog post, we will talk about discounts for
some but not all of your products.
When I am looking to purchase something on line I am looking at the bottom line the price.. I use percent off coupons to purchase a sale item. This is just me.
