$100 Off Orders Over $500

When to use this

Use this template when you want to give a fixed-amount cart discount above a spend threshold – for example "$100 off any order over $500" – while excluding products that are already on sale from sharing in the discount. This is the typical pattern for "spend more, save more" rebates that need to leave promotional items at their existing prices.

How it works

This is a Whole Cart promotion gated by a subtotal trigger, with exclusion conditions on the action to protect sale items.

• Trigger condition on Discounted Subtotal – the cart must be at least A$500 after any earlier promotions have been applied.
• Fixed-amount cart action – a flat A$100 is discounted from the cart and the engine spreads the A$100 proportionally across all eligible items in the cart.
• Exclusion conditions on Is On Sale – sale items are excluded from receiving the discount, so the A$100 only spreads across the non-sale items. This keeps your existing sale-item margins intact.
• Lock Affected Items: No – non-sale items receiving this discount can still be picked up by other promotions, since the rebate is a thin one and other offers shouldn't be blocked by it.

For the underlying concepts see Trigger Conditions and Promotion Action in Creating a Promotion. The Is On Sale attribute is described in Attributes – it's also used in the Non-Sale Items Discount template for a related pattern that excludes sale items entirely instead of from a single action.

Step-by-step setup

1. From your Deducto Dashboard, open the promotions list for your project and click New.
2. Choose Whole Cart as the promotion type.
3. On the General Information tab, set the name and behaviour. The full set of values is in the field reference below.
4. On the Trigger Conditions tab:
   • Leave the condition orchestration as "If all of these conditions are true".
   • Add one condition: select Discounted Subtotal as the attribute, set the operator to is greater than or equal to, and enter 500 as the AUD value.
5. On the Action tab, choose Apply a Fixed Amount Discount to the Cart, set Discount Amount to 100, then under Exclusion Conditions add one condition: select Is On Sale as the attribute, set the operator to equals, and enter the value true.
6. Click Save.

Variations

• Different threshold or rebate amount. Adjust the Discounted Subtotal value or the Discount Amount.
• Exclude a different set of items. Swap the Is On Sale exclusion for any other product condition (e.g. Category equals Gift Cards to leave gift cards untouched).
• No exclusions at all. Leave Exclusion Conditions empty if every product in the cart should share in the rebate.
• One per customer. Set Max Use Per Email Address Count to 1 to limit each customer to one rebate.

Testing

1. Add non-sale items totalling less than A$500 and confirm no discount is applied.
2. Add more non-sale items so the cart exceeds A$500 and confirm the A$100 discount is spread across them.
3. Add a mix of sale and non-sale items totalling over A$500 and confirm only the non-sale items share in the A$100; sale items keep their existing prices.
4. Cause an earlier promotion to take the cart's Discounted Subtotal below A$500 and confirm this promotion no longer applies.
