Must know
  • The minimum is measured on the eligible lines only (those matching the scope, items and seasons), at their price before discounts.
  • Max discount cap is for percentage discounts only and limits the dollars off each line.
  • On an Every charge discount, each renewal re-checks the minimum against that one charge, so a minimum above the per-period price means renewals bill full price.
Where to find it. Go to Settings > Financials > Discounts and click Create discount, or open an existing discount to edit it. Both fields are on the Pricing step: Minimum purchase amount (Optional) and Max discount cap (Optional). They work for promo codes and automatic discounts. For a minimum-spend code, pick the Spend & save template on the Type step.

Minimum purchase amount

What counts. Eligible lines match the Scope and any specific items or Whole seasons picked on the General step. Each counts at price times quantity, before discounts, so a “$100 minimum on programs” code ignores store items. Meeting the minimum exactly is enough. What the family sees. If a code is entered and the cart is short, it is not kept and a message reads “[CODE] doesn’t meet the minimum eligible subtotal for this order.” If an applied code falls short after items are removed, it stays in the cart with that wording and applies again once the minimum is met. An automatic discount below its minimum simply doesn’t apply, and no message is shown. Renewals. When Discount applies to is set to Every charge, the minimum is checked again on each renewal against that single charge. If the per-period price is below the minimum, renewals bill at full price even though the first checkout was discounted. The cap also limits each renewal.

Max discount cap

For a percentage discount, this caps the dollars off a line. “25% off, max 50"takes2550" takes 25% off a 300 program but stops at 50ratherthan50 rather than 75. The cap covers the whole line (price times quantity), so a line with quantity 2 shares one cap. Switching the value toggle from % to $ removes the cap field and clears anything typed. A fixed-amount discount is saved with no cap and never takes off more than the line’s price. Check your work. The discount’s detail page lists Min subtotal and Max discount cap under Discount & limits. In Cart Preview, a code under its minimum shows “[CODE] needs an eligible subtotal of 100.00(current:100.00 (current: 80.00).” A line shows “(max)” when the cap applies, and also on a 100%-off line.
