How to Set Up Cart Adjustment (Cart Discount)

The Cart Adjustment rule allows you to apply discounts based on the total value or total quantity of items in the cart, rather than individual products.

1. Creating a New Rule

  1. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Dynamic Discounts.
  2. Click Add New Rule.
  3. Enter a Rule Name (e.g., "Spend $100 Get $10 Off").

2. Configuring the Discount

In the Discount Type section, select:

Discount Type: Cart Adjustment

Setting Up Conditions (The Trigger)

You need to tell the plugin when to apply this discount. We use Conditions for this.

  1. Scroll to the Condition section.
  2. Select a condition type, for example:
    • Cart Subtotal: Trigger based on the total price (e.g., Subtotal greater than 100).
    • Cart Item Quantity: Trigger based on total number of items (e.g., Item Quantity greater than 5).
  3. Set the Operator (e.g., "Greater than or equal to") and Value (e.g., "100").

Setting Up the Discount Value

Scroll down to the Discount section (Cart Adjustment types usually have a simple value input or a tier system depending on configuration).

3. Common Examples

Scenario A: Spend $100, Get $10 Off

Scenario B: 10% Off Orders Over $200

Note: Cart discounts appear as a total discount line in the cart totals area, effectively reducing the Grand Total.
