Does Vareons support mandatory discounts?

Mandatory discounts run from an area separate from regular coupons and apply to the order unless explicitly excluded, appearing to shoppers as an imposed discount. This pattern suits forced promotions or seasonal discounts that must reliably land on qualifying orders with no code entry from shoppers. See create a mandatory discount and discounts documentation.

Steps to create a mandatory discount

1. Open the mandatory discounts area and create a new discount with its value and order eligibility rules.
2. Define explicit exclusions when needed so the discount skips what you never intended.
3. Activate the discount and review its appearance on a qualifying trial order from the storefront.
4. Follow the discount effect on orders and adjust it when the occasion or policy changes.

Mandatory with the other types

Mandatory, automatic, and codes work inside one system. See edit a mandatory discount, discount codes, automatic discounts, and discount types.

When mandatory is the right choice

Choose mandatory for absolute guarantees like seasonal clearance or supplier commitments, automatic for standing conditional offers, and codes for distributed campaigns. Mixing them blindly confuses shoppers, so document each discount goal and duration in internal notes your team understands.

• Never run mandatory and automatic on the same segment without testing stacking.
• Tell shoppers why the visible discount exists to raise offer acceptance.
• Stop mandatory discounts the moment their occasion ends so they never turn into a permanent burden.
