The Advanced Options button allows you to create a “buy X, get Y” type of discount. This means that customers will “get” a benefit when they meet certain “buy” criteria (e.g. buy 1, get 1 free). Under Buy X, enter the number of items the customer would have to purchase to be eligible for the discount. Under Get Y, enter the number of items that will be discounted once the threshold entered in Buy X and GET Y has been reached.

In the buy 1, get 1 free example, the Buy X value would be 1, the Get Y value would be 1, the Coupon type would be Percentage off, and the corresponding Value field would be set to 100. 

Each fabric customer account can be configured to further discount the SKUs with clearance prices. Consult with your fabric representative to set up this custom configuration.

Buy X Get Y Coupons

Buy X Get Y coupons allow you to discount products based on customers purchasing them in a bundle or spending over a minimum amount. The most common use is for “Buy one, get one” coupons.

Customer buys

There are three options:

• SKUs - This allows you to choose alternative sets of SKUs. A customer must purchase the required quantity from at least 1 SKU set.
• Bundle - This allows you to choose multiple sets of SKUs. A customer must purchase the required quantity from all SKU sets.
• Cart Value - This lets you set a minimum amount that the customer must spend in order to get a discount on a specific SKU. You will not use ‘SKU sets’ for this option. Instead, you can select SKUs that will be included in the total spend amount.

Use Browse SKUsto select the SKUs in the SKU set and enter the minimum quantity of SKUs that must be added to the cart.

Use + Add another set of SKUs to display an additional section for adding SKUs.

Each SKU set will be labeled with a letter as an identifier, starting from A and going in alphabetical order.

You must select the SKUs and the minimum quantity before you can move onto ‘Customer Gets.'

Customer Gets

In the section, choose the discount the customer will receive.

• SKU - This option allows you to choose specific SKUs to be discounted. You can also specify if you would like to give an item for ‘free’.
• Cart - This option allows you to discount the total cart value by an amount or percentage.
• Shipping - This option allows you to discount the shipping cost. You will be able to select shipping methods that you have configured in fabric’s OMS.

For the SKU option, you can select a set of SKUs that can be discounted. You can choose the same set you created before in the ‘customer buys’ section, or you can choose to create a new SKU set by clicking on + Add another set of SKUs.

Then choose the maximum quantity that can be discounted and how much they should be discounted by.

You can add additional sets of SKUs to be discounted by selecting + Add another discount. All SKU sets will be included when calculating the discount.

Discount type

There four discount types:

• Percentage off - Reduces the price of the items, cart, or shipping by a percentage. The percentage value can be from 1-100%.

• Amount off - Reduces the price of the items, cart, or shipping by a specific monetary amount. The currency of the discount is determined by the price list the coupon is linked to. The value of the amount can be from 1 to the total price. If the amount off exceeds the the price, the price becomes zero.

• Shipping off - Reduces the price of the chosen shipping method by either a percentage or amount, with an additional option of setting it as “free,” which is equivalent to a 100% discount.

  • Shipping methods - Offers uses the shipping methods that have been configured in fabric OMS. Therefore, you will need to use fabric OMS to apply shipping discounts. You can select multiple shipping methods but only apply a single discount type. You can create a separate coupon to apply different discount types for different shipping methods.

• Fixed price - Sets a price for the items, cart, or shipping. The currency of the set price is based on the price list the coupon is linked to. It is not available for Cart Value coupons. When used on Buy X, Get Y coupons, the fixed price will be set per unit of the chosen items on the Get side.

Coupon Limits

There are two ways to limit coupon use: per user and site-wide. 

Limiting coupons on a per-user basis allows you to choose how many times an individual redeems the coupon. This feature requires everyone redeeming the coupon to be registered and signed in to your web store. 

Limiting coupons site-wide allows you to choose how many times a coupon can be redeemed in total, by any user. 

These features can be used individually or in conjunction with each other for more control. For example, you may set a site-wide coupon limit at 100. To prevent one person from repeatedly using the coupon, you can also limit usage on a per-user basis, and set per-user redemption to one or two. 

Customer Segmentation

Use the Limit user segment drop-down menu to choose whether the coupon is available to all customers, or registered customers only. If you select registered customers only, customers must be registered and signed in to your web store in order to redeem the coupon. 

Define Terms & Conditions (optional)

The title and description fields provide space for the coupon’s terms and conditions, if any. The Add another condition feature allows you to expand the terms and conditions. Click the Add another tier button to add a tier and its corresponding Delete button to remove the tier.
