Platform Overview

Welcome to Deducto! Here you'll find a powerful promotion engine that helps you create sophisticated promotional campaigns with ease. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started.

What is Deducto?

Deducto is a promotion engine that sits between your store and your checkout. When a customer updates their cart, your storefront sends the cart data to Deducto, which evaluates your active promotions and returns the applicable discounts. Your storefront then displays the discounted prices and, when the customer places the order, records the promotion usage through Deducto's API.

This means your promotion logic lives in Deducto, rather than scattered across various systems. You configure rules once in the Deducto Dashboard, and they're enforced consistently at every checkout, across every channel that calls the API.

With Deducto you can create smart, targeted discounts for your online store, including:

Build custom promotional rules based on products and cart conditions
Automatically apply discounts that align with your business strategy
Connect seamlessly with your ecommerce platform
Generate unique coupon codes

Integration options

We support multiple ecommerce platforms to meet various business needs. The integration flow is straightforward: you configure promotions through the Deducto Dashboard, and during checkout, your online store communicates with the Deducto backend to evaluate applicable promotions. Our platform integrates with:

Shopify: Install the Deducto app from the Shopify App Store
WooCommerce: Coming soon
Custom Storefront: Flexible API integration for custom-built stores

Deducto Dashboard core components

As a store administrator, you'll work with the Deducto Dashboard closely. The dashboard is your central workspace where you'll manage all aspects of your promotional campaigns. Let's look at the core components you'll use every day:

The promotions section of a project is where you'll spend most of your time. Here you can:

See or search through all your promotions
