Things to Know

• The dollar discount value is deducted from the basket subtotal less any exclusions. If the subtotal is less than the value of the offer, the difference is lost. For example, a $10 off is applied to a $7 purchase, the discount will be $7 and the $3 will be lost to the member.
• Dollar discount offer type is not available for the Purchase Total campaign automation. If you’re looking to create a dollar discount based on a member making a purchase, use the alternate method by creating a Recurring campaign offer targeted to an audience based on when their last visits (i.e. purchases) were made.
