The discount application rules in Subotiz define how discounts are applied across product types and billing cycles, including trial periods. These rules ensure accurate pricing at checkout and consistent billing behavior.
Discount Application Rules
- Product types
- One-time products: Discounts apply once at the time of purchase.
- Example: A $20 discount on a $100 one-time purchase reduces the total to $80.
- Subscription products: Discounts can be applied across multiple billing cycles, depending on campaign settings.
- Example: A 10% discount for three billing cycles on a $50 subscription reduces the first three charges to $45 each.
- Discount types
- One-time discounts: Apply only once, regardless of product type.
- Recurring discounts: Apply across the defined number of billing cycles (e.g., the first three cycles or all cycles).
- Trial periods
- Discounts do not apply during a trial period.
- The discount is retained during the trial period and applied when the first paid cycle begins.
- Example: A 7-day trial followed by a $30 subscription with a 10% discount will result in a charge of $27 for the first paid cycle.
- Billing cycle application
- If a campaign defines N billing cycles, discounts are applied sequentially starting from the first paid cycle after any trial, until the configured number of cycles is reached.
- Discount display
- If a billing cycle does not meet the campaign conditions (e.g., a minimum spend requirement), no discount is applied.
- If conditions are met, the discount amount is clearly shown at checkout.
- For trial cycles, the discount displays as $0 but remains applied to future paid cycles.
Subotiz applies standardized discount rules across product types, billing cycles, and trial scenarios, ensuring discounts are applied accurately and consistently throughout the checkout process.
