What discount types does Vareons support?
Last verified: 2026-09-18
Picking the right discount type shapes the offer the customer sees and how savings are calculated at checkout. Percentage suits store-wide markdowns on the total or on eligible products, fixed amount suits clearly valued offers, free shipping encourages hesitant carts to convert, and buy-and-get suits stock movement and larger baskets. See discount code support, automatic discounts without a code, and mandatory discount support.
The four types and when to use each
- Percentage off: subtracts a percent from the total or eligible products, fitting seasonal campaigns and public offers.
- Fixed amount: subtracts a set figure from the order, fitting clear offers whose value the customer grasps instantly.
- Free shipping: removes or reduces shipping fees, working well to convert carts abandoned over delivery cost.
- Buy X get Y: grants an extra quantity or product when the condition is met, fitting clearance and larger baskets.
- Types are chosen from the step-by-step create-coupon wizard according to the campaign goal.
Recommended practices
- Match the type to the campaign goal: percentage for wide reach, fixed amount for clarity, free shipping for cart abandonment.
- Try a new type on a limited segment first and watch redemptions before rolling it out widely.
- Pair the discount type with precise eligibility so the offer reaches only the target group.
- Review each type performance regularly from analytics reports to repeat what works and stop what brings no return.
