Discount assets
Discounts allow you to offer customers price incentives to drive sales, or promote a product. WebSphere Commerce has two available discount implementations; rule-based discounts, and schema-based discounts. Either implementation enables percentage discounts (such as 10% off) or fixed-amount discounts (such as $15 off). Discounts can apply to specific products or to the total purchase. For example, you can offer a 20% reduction to senior citizens; or if you have many red baseball caps in stock, you can offer a 25% discount on the caps for a limited time. Rule-based discounts go beyond these discount types to offer shipping discounts, and free gifts with qualifying purchases.
There are two types of discounts in WebSphere Commerce:
- rule-based discounts
- schema-based discounts
