The first step for setting up any discount is to turn the global "Apply Discounts" flag on from the Product Catalog -> Discounts -> Discount Settings screen, as described above.

Navigate to the add discount form by going to the Product Catalog -> Discounts -> Discounts screen and clicking the "Add New Record" link.

The add discount form should be fairly self-explanatory. To create our global 10% discount, first enter a unique discount code and give the discount a name.

For the "What Items Does This Discount Apply To?" field, select the "Applies to user's cart as a whole regardless of the items in it (global discount)" option to identify this as a global discount.

For the "What Is the Reward for This Discount?" field, select the "Discount is this percentage off:" option, and enter "10" in the percentage field.

For this example and in many cases generally, you can leave the other fields as they are. But note that these other options are available to control the specific customers that can use the discount, the start time and expiration time of the discount, and how many times it can be used.

That is all it takes! If you go to the customer interface for the store, as soon as you add a product to the cart, you'll see that the global discount appears as a separate line item in the cart. The discount's total is a negative amount equal to 10% of the cart's subtotal.

	Note
	Global discounts are applied against the order's subtotal. They will not take shipping or taxes into account.

Assuming we have already created some products, the first step is to create SKUs that represent them. An easy and convenient way to do this is to use the "SKU Builder" at the bottom of the Product Catalog -> Inventory and SKUs -> SKUs screen.

The SKU Builder on the Product Catalog -> Inventory and SKUs -> SKUs screen.

Using the SKU Builder, create a SKU for each of the products in the store by selecting the "Build All Product SKUs" option. If you have a large number of products, it may take a while so please be patient.

Next, let's make sure that the global "Apply Discounts" flag setting is on by checking the Product Catalog -> Discounts -> Discount Settings screen.

Now navigate to the add discount form by going to the Product Catalog -> Discounts -> Discounts screen and clicking the "Add New Record" link.

For the "What Items Does This Discount Apply To?" field, select the "Applies to the SKUs assigned to this discount (SKU discount)" option to identify this as a SKU discount.

For the "What Is the Reward for This Discount?" field, select the "Discount is this amount off:" option, and enter "10" in the text field.

For this example and in many cases generally, you can leave the other fields as they are. But note that these other options are available to control the specific customers that can use the discount, the start time and expiration time of the discount, and how many times it can be used. For now, let's go ahead and add the discount.

Now that our SKUs have been created, and our discount is in place, the last thing to do is to assign the SKUs we want to the discount. From the Product Catalog -> Discounts -> Discounts screen, click the "Details" link next to our new discount.

On the edit discount screen, click the "SKUs" link. This should take you to the SKU Discount assignment screen. You'll see a filterable list of the available SKUs that we created.

To assign one or more of the SKUs to our discount, check off the SKUs you'd like to assign and click the "Update" button.

That's all it takes! On the product page in the customer interface, you should now see a new field named "Discount" appear below the price, with the current discount displayed. In addition, a discount grid will appear that lists all the discounts applicable for the product.

Assuming we have set up a SKU discount like the one in the above example, the first step is to redefine our discount as one which looks at its Discount Ranges to determine the amount of the reward. Navigate to the edit discount form by going to the Product Catalog -> Discounts -> Discounts screen and clicking the "Details" link next to our SKU discount.

Change the "What Is the Reward for This Discount?" field for our discount to "Determined by the discount range the quantity falls into". This tells the discount to look at the Discount Ranges under it to figure out the amount of the discount.

Now we must create our Discount Ranges under the discount. From the edit discount form, click on the link that says "Discount Ranges".

On the subsequent screen, click the "Add New Record" link to go to the add Discount Range form.

For the "Floor for This Range" field, enter 5. Our first range will take effect only if the customer is purchasing at least 5 of the item.

For the "Ceiling for This Range" field, enter 9. This marks the upper limit of the first range.

For the "Reward for This Range" field, select the "This percentage off" option, and enter 10 for the percentage. Click Add to add the new Discount Range.

Repeat the above steps to add the parameters of our second range. Enter 10 for the floor of the range, and leave the ceiling at 0, which is used to represent no ceiling. For the reward, enter 20 for the percentage.

That's it! In the customer interface, note that on the product page, the discount grid now included the two ranges and explains the discounts that the customers will receive depending on how many of the item they buy.

	Note
	You can make a quantity discount a global discount. In that case, the quantity used to find the applicable Discount Range is the total number of items the customer has in the cart.
