Web Store Discounts
Applies to: Sana Commerce Cloud 1.0.24 and higher in SAP Business One
Some shop owners when they start their online business use different discount strategies to get new visitors buying or encourage existing customers to order again. Some of them even offer discounts on all products in the catalog. In this case, shop owners don’t want to set up a lot of different discounts but want a very simple way to set the same discount for all products. For this purpose, shop owners can use a web store discount.
A web store discount gives customers a discount for any products from the catalog. It is calculated for the total order amount and is shown as an invoice discount in the shopping cart of the Sana web store. You can create a web store discount either for all customers of your web store or for a specific group of customers.
A web store discount is calculated on top of any other discounts calculated for the item or customer in the shopping cart.

When a customer creates a sales order and a web store discount is calculated, its details will be stored in the Web Store Discount Percentage and Web Store Discount Name user-defined fields of the sales order in SAP Business One.
In the Discount % field, you can see the total discount amount and percentage applied to the order (for example, total discount + web store discount). The maximum total discount percentage is 100%. If the total discount percentage exceeds 100%, then it will be reduced to 100%.
Web Store Discounts Priority
A web store discount is calculated in the shopping cart based on its priority. The first discount in the list has the highest priority.
On the left, you can see the list of all created web store discounts and change their priority by moving up and down in the list.
If a customer places an order, the web store discount for specific customer group will be applied only if this customer belongs to this group.
If a customer places an order and this customer does not belong to the customer group, the first web store discount for all customers will be applied.
Delete a Web Store Discount
You can remove a web store discount if you right-click on it. The context menu will pop up where you can choose to remove the selected web store discount.
