This article is about the new Wix Online Orders app.
Create automatic discounts so customers can get price reductions without having to enter a coupon code. When a customer orders items that qualify for discounts, the discounts are applied automatically. You can create automatic discounts for any or all menu items, specific menus, or specific menu sections.
Tip:
To keep things simple for both you and your customers, it's best not to create more than one automatic discount that applies to the same menu item, menu section, or menu.
