Discounts are a powerful way to drive sales, attract new customers, and reward loyal ones. storekit offers a range of discount options to suit your business needs.

## Types of Discounts

### Percentage Discounts

Offer a discount based on a percentage of the order total. Perfect for site-wide sales, seasonal promotions, or customer appreciation deals.

**Example:** 20% off all orders

### Fixed Monetary Discounts

Provide a set amount off the total order price. Great for offering incentives without affecting your overall margins too much.

**Example:** £5 off your order

### Free Delivery Discounts

Remove the delivery fee to encourage more online orders. Especially useful for boosting takeaway and delivery sales.

### Buy X Get Y Discounts

Create conditional promotions where customers receive a discounted item when they meet specific conditions.

**Examples:**

* Buy 1 pizza, get the next one 50% off
* Buy 2 mains, get a dessert free
