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
- Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Dynamic Discounts.
- Click Add New Rule.
- 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.
- Scroll to the Condition section.
- 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).
- 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).
- Adjustment Type:
- Percentage Discount: Takes a percentage off the cart total (e.g., 10% off checkdout).
- Fixed Discount: Takes a fixed amount off the cart total (e.g., $10 off).
- Value: The amount to discount.
3. Common Examples
Scenario A: Spend $100, Get $10 Off
- Discount Type: Cart Adjustment
- Condition: Cart Subtotal >=
100 - Adjustment Type: Fixed Discount
- Value:
10 - Result: If cart total is $105, customer pays $95.
Scenario B: 10% Off Orders Over $200

- Condition: Cart Subtotal >=
200 - Adjustment Type: Percentage Discount

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