The name you give your automatic discount is displayed in the cart and checkout. Discounts on store products can be displayed on additional store elements.
- Wix Stores products: Discounts always appear in the cart and at checkout. You can decide whether you also want to display them in the Product page & in store galleries.
- Wix Restaurants menu items: Discounts always appear in the cart and at checkout, but they do not appear anywhere else.
What does the automatic discount display look like?
When applied to store products (and if enabled), the discount name appear in galleries...
...and on the Product page.
Exceptions:
- If 2 or more discounts apply to a specific item, only the discount that was created most recently appears in galleries, the Category page, and the Product page.
- When a product has product options that are priced differently, only thesale name (e.g. Summer Sale) appear, not the discounted price.
Example of a product with multiple active discounts
If a product has more than one discount, the largest discount is applied in the Cart and Checkout pages, regardless of which discount is displayed in product galleries, the Category page or the Product page.
For example, you created a "30% off ceramics" discount in January. Six months later, you create a summer sale of 20% off all products. Since the summer sale was created later, customers see that sale in galleries and on the Product page, as in the image above.
However, when a customer adds a ceramic item to the cart and proceeds to checkout, they receive the 30% discount (since it's the higher discount).
Tip:
If you have multiple active discounts that apply to the same products, you may want to choose to display the discounts only in the Cart and Checkout Page, to avoid confusion. If you do so, make sure to let customers know about available discounts.
Types of discounts
The messages that customers see on your site vary a little depending on the type of discount you set up.
Standard discount
You can choose whether you want to display discount info on the Product page, galleries, Cart and Checkout pages, or just in the Cart and Checkout pages.
Note that when you create a discount with minimum requirements (e.g. the discount applies to orders above $50) or a discount that applies to a product with managed product variants set at different prices, only the name of the sale appears, not the discounted price. This lets customers know that the item is eligible for a discount, but doesn't display a price that they may not qualify for.
Buy X get Y discount
Just as for standard discounts, you can choose where you want to show the discount.
However, for Buy X get Y discounts, displaying the discount name in galleries and on the Product page can help your customers understand exactly what the requirements are and what they will get. It may also encourage them to purchase additional items.
If your customer meets the requirements (in this example, they added 3 t-shirts), the least expensive one is discounted, and the discount name appears in the cart.
