Discount percent

Discount percents are available for items and orders:

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

  • Order discount percent is the percentage discount that is applied to the order value for the entire transaction, in addition to any item or unit-specific discount percentages.

Use in segments

You can access discount percent attributes directly from the Segment Editor. To add these attributes to your segments, To add these attributes to your segment, click Add condition and then Add attribute.
