Discount amounts

Discount amounts can be present for items, orders, and units:

  • Item discount amount is the discount amount that is applied to all units that are associated with a single item within a single transaction.

  • Order discount amount is the total discount amount that is applied to the entire order.

  • Unit discount amount is the discount amount that is applied to a single unit of one item.

You can access discount amount attributes directly from the Segment Editor. To add these attributes to your segments, click Add criteria, select the Unified Itemized Transactions table (for Item Discount Amount and Unit Discount Amount) or the Unified Transactions table (for Order Discount Amount), apply a condition, and then specify a value.
