Important:
Automatic discounts are currently available for Wix Stores and Wix Restaurant Orders (New).
Reward customers for their purchases by offering something for free or at a reduced rate when they buy selected items. For example, you can create an automatic discount where a customer can buy 1 T-shirt and get another at 50% off. Customers who add 2 t-shirts to the cart automatically get the less expensive one at 50% off - without entering a coupon code.
