Applying discounts at checkout using the BigCommerce Checkout Integration
Merchants on the BigCommerce Checkout Integration can leverage all of BigCommerce’s native discount functionality during the checkout, including coupon and automation promotions. This guide covers how to apply discount codes to subscription products during checkout.
Before you start
Discount codes must be configured in the BigCommerce admin portal to apply during checkout. Refer to Discounts and Coupons for detailed information on configuring discounts in BigCommerce.
Apply discount codes
Customers can enter discounts while in the cart or at checkout, before the order is placed.
To add a discount code to your subscription order:
-
Add products into your cart, including the subscription product(s) applicable to the discount.
-
On the cart page or at checkout, add discount code in the Coupon Code field. Once entered, a successfully applied coupon will deduct the appropriate prices.
- Complete checkout.
