Nth Item Discount

1 Module Introduction

Nth Item Discount is a product-level promotion tool that supports two modes: “Xth Item Discount” and “Every Xth Item Discount” (e.g., “Second item at 50% off” or “Every 2nd item at 50% off”). By applying tiered discounts based on purchase quantity, this feature helps merchants boost volume, increase items per order, and is ideal for new product launches, inventory clearance, or increasing average transaction value. This promotion can be stacked with order-level discounts such as “Spend & Save” or “Spend & Get.”

    • Percentage Off: Enter the discount value (e.g., “50” for 50% off).
    • Amount Off: Enter the reduction amount (e.g., “$5 off”).
  1. Grouping and Sorting Rules

  • Restrict to Same Item:

    • Checked: Quantities are calculated independently for each unique item (e.g., 2 of Item A + 3 of Item B = separate calculations).
    • Unchecked: All eligible items are counted together towards the quantity threshold.

  • Price Priority:
