On the new page you will see a field for defining a cart rule with three tabs. 

 

INFORMATION 

 

Information tab includes basic parameters of the rule like its name, description or discount code itself. The discount code can be generated by receiving a string of random characters or by manually entering a selected formula. Other options to set in the information tab are:

  • Highlight - allows to display the code on the cart page. 
  • Partial use - in the case of quota discounts, part of the amount can be moved to the next purchase if the discount amount exceeds the cart amount.
  • Priority - allows you to assign priorities to different codes meeting the conditions of one cart. Priority 1 will be used first, then priority 2 and so on. 
  • Status - determines whether the code is active or not.
