Create an Automatic Discount

An automatic discount is a discount that applies automatically when the parameters are met. Unlike a coupon, it does not require the customer to enter a code to receive the discount.

Automatic discounts are available to use with the following subscription plans. Merchants not on one of these plans will be automatically upgraded upon launch.
  • Standard (Case Discounts Only)
  • Pro
  • Expert

Popular examples of automatic discounts include:

  • 10% off 6 or more bottles of wine
  • Free delivery for all orders on the app
