How to make percentage discounts stack after each others?
By default, DiscountYard app calculates discount codes by original subtotal not discounted subtotal. However, If you run 2 percentage discounts, you might want to apply the discounts after each other to get a lesser total discount value.
Let’s assume that there is a product on customer’s cart that is worth $100, and there are two discount codes 20% OFF and 10% OFF.
The combined discount value will be as follows:
- Case #1: The discount codes are not entitled to specific products but to "All products":
$100 - ($100 x (20% + 10%)) = $70
- Case #2: The discount codes are entitled to specific products or collection:
$100 - ($100 x 20%) = $80
$80 - ($80 x 10%) = $72
Case #2 is the recommended way as it results in less discount value - increases AOV "Average order value".
Note: You can still entitled you discount code to all products by creating a smart collection containing ALL your products and entitle the discount codes to it.
