What is Automatic Discount?
Understanding Automatic Discount in E-commerce
Quick Definition
Automatic discounts are pre-configured price reductions applied to products or entire store orders without requiring manual coupon codes. They can be triggered by specific conditions like cart value, product quantity, customer group, or time-limited promotions, simplifying the purchasing process and incentivizing larger transactions.
