Discount Handling

The examples below explain how the discount features handle certain scenarios during guest checkout.

If two discounts apply to a product and one is marked “cumulative with other discounts” and the other is not, it will only apply one discount and will choose the better of the two discounts.
If you have two cumulative percent discounts applied to the same product it takes the % off the total product price for both. So, if the guest has a $750 product and both a 5% and 10% discount, both are applied. First, both discounts will be calculated off the product price ((750*.1 = $75 savings)+(750*.05 = $37.50 savings)), then the product price will be discounted by the sum of the discount amounts. For example: ((750*.1 = $75 savings)+(750*.05 = $37.50 savings))-750 = $637.50.
If the guest has a dollar amount off discount and a percentage off discount that both apply to the same product, the feature will take the percentage off first, regardless of whether the % off gives you more or less money off than the dollar amount off discount.
