# Fixed Monetary Discounts

> Offer a set monetary amount off the order total with fixed-value discounts in storekit. Predictable cost, easy for customers to understand at a glance.

Fixed monetary discounts reduce the order total by a specific amount. They're straightforward for customers to understand and give you predictable control over the discount cost.

<Note>
  A fixed discount applies its **full value on every order** it is used on. For example, a £100 discount takes £100 off each qualifying order — it does not work like store credit or deplete a running balance. To limit your total exposure, set a [per-customer or global usage limit](/guides/discounts/limiting-redemptions).
</Note>

## Creating a Fixed Discount

1. Go to **Discounts** in the sidebar
2. Click **Add Discount**
3. Enter a **discount code** (minimum 3 characters, letters and numbers only)
4. Select **Fixed** as the discount type
5. Enter the **discount amount** (e.g., £5)
6. Configure any restrictions (see below)
7. Click **Save**

## When to Use Fixed Discounts

Fixed discounts are particularly effective for:

| Use Case                   | Example                       |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **First order incentive**  | £5 off your first order       |
| **Spend threshold reward** | £10 off orders over £50       |
| **Simple promotions**      | £3 off any order this weekend |
| **Partner deals**          | £7 off with a unique code     |

## Combining with Other Settings

* **[Minimum spend](/guides/discounts/minimum-spend-maximum-discount)** - Require a minimum order value to prevent the discount exceeding the order total
* **[Availability limits](/guides/discounts/limiting-availability)** - Restrict to specific days, hours, or order types
* **[Redemption limits](/guides/discounts/limiting-redemptions)** - Control how many times the discount can be used
* **[Delivery fee inclusion](/guides/discounts/delivery-fee-inclusion)** - Choose whether the delivery fee counts toward the discountable total

## Examples

### First Order Incentive

* **Code:** WELCOME5
* **Amount:** £5 off
* **Per-customer limit:** 1
* **Use case:** Encourage new customers to place their first order

### Spend Threshold

* **Code:** SAVE10
* **Amount:** £10 off
* **Minimum spend:** £25
* **Use case:** Increase average order value by rewarding larger orders

<Tip>
  When using fixed discounts, set a [minimum spend](/guides/discounts/minimum-spend-maximum-discount) that is meaningfully higher than the discount amount. This protects your margins and encourages customers to add more to their order.
