How percentage discounts stack after each other?

Overview

By default, DiscountYard app calculates discount codes based on the original subtotal not the discounted subtotal. However, If you run two percentage discounts, you might want to apply the discounts after each other to get a lesser total discount value.

Let’s assume that there is a product on the customer's cart that is worth $100, and there are two discount codes 20% OFF and 10% OFF.

The combined discount value will be as follows:

- Case #1: The discount codes are not entitled to specific products/collections but to "All products":

$100 - ($100 x (20% + 10%)) = $70

- Case #2: The discount codes are entitled to specific products or collection:

$100 - ($100 x 20%) = $80

$80 - ($80 x 10%) = $72

Case #2 is the recommended way as it results in less discount value - increases AOV "Average order value".

Note: You can still entitled your discount codes to all products by creating a collection containing ALL your products and entitle the discount codes to it.
