  • Navigate to your Discounts section in the dashboard

Define the purchase requirements

Choose one of the following conditions that must be met for the discount to apply:

  • Purchase amount: Set a minimum spend (e.g., $50)
  • Item type quantity: Require a certain number of events, products, or memberships (e.g., buy tickets to 2 different events)
  • Basket quantity: Require a total number of items in the cart (e.g., buy 5 items)

Optional: Add tiered pricing

You can create multiple discount levels based on increasing thresholds. Click Add Tier to define variations such as:

  • $6.49 purchase = $1 off
  • $19.99 purchase = $2 off
  • $22 purchase = $3 off
  • $600 purchase = $5 off
