What is a 'dynamic' discount? How does Growth Suite decide to offer a smaller discount for a shorter time versus a larger one for a longer time?

Look, I've been running my online fashion store for three years now, and discount strategy has always felt like a high-wire act. We're constantly battling between attracting customers and protecting our margins. I noticed that when we blast generic discounts, our conversion rates don't necessarily improve—in fact, some customers seem to wait for the next sale instead of buying now. I started wondering: what if we could offer smarter, more targeted discounts that actually motivate specific types of shoppers? That's when I began exploring more nuanced approaches. I wanted a system that could distinguish between a casual browser and a serious potential buyer, and then craft an offer that speaks directly to their purchase intent. The challenge wasn't just about giving a discount, but giving the RIGHT discount to the RIGHT customer at the RIGHT moment. My team and I were tired of one-size-fits-all approaches that seemed to either leave money on the table or unnecessarily cut into our profits.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

A dynamic discount in Growth Suite is an offer where the discount percentage is determined in real time based on visitor behavior signals rather than a fixed preset value. Growth Suite analyzes factors like cart value, visit history, and purchase intent signals to decide whether to show a discount and at what level - protecting margins by offering smaller discounts to high-intent visitors and larger nudges to those most likely to walk away.

What Are Dynamic Discounts in Growth Suite?

Dynamic discounts represent a smarter approach than one-size-fits-all offers. Instead of showing every visitor the same 15% off, Growth Suite uses behavioral signals to determine the right offer for each visitor - protecting margins where less incentive is needed while deploying higher discounts only where necessary to convert walk-away customers.

Dynamic vs. Static Discounts

ApproachHow It WorksMargin Impact
Static discount (15% off)Every qualifying visitor gets 15%Discounts dedicated buyers unnecessarily
Dynamic discountHigh-intent = no offer, low-intent = 15% offerProtects margins on high-intent visitors

Signals Used for Dynamic Offer Decisions

  • Purchase intent score: Predicted likelihood of purchasing without a discount.
  • Cart value: Higher-value carts may warrant a larger absolute discount for the same conversion effect.
  • Visit behavior: Number of pages visited, time on site, return visit count.
  • Abandonment signal strength: Clear exit-intent vs. momentary mouse movement.
Growth Suite Purchase Intent Prediction:

Growth Suite Purchase Intent Prediction is the underlying system that enables dynamic discounting. By scoring each visitor real-time, it ensures that dedicated buyers who would have purchased without a discount never see a discount, while walk-away customers receive the nudge they need to convert. This protects overall store margins while maximizing recovery revenue.
