Discount Stacking

11min

Stacking is how discounts and offers are applied together in the cart.

All discounting and reward accrual is based on the Subtotal.

There are three different options for stacking: No Stacking, No Double Stacking, and Allow Stacking.

You can also set more specific stacking settings at the individual offer-level.

Stacking Settings

  • Store-level stacking settings can be found in Store Settings > Orders
  • Offer-level stacking settings can be found in Menu > Offers > Offer Details > Settings

If your store settings are set to 'No Stacking', you will not see offer-level stacking settings.

Stacking Options

No Stacking

Only 1 discount will be applied to an order.

This discount can stack with itself, but no others. If you want to limit its use to only 1, for example, set the 'Limit use per order' to 1.

AIQ Ecommerce will run through all possible discounts and give the customer the best one.

Offer Level Stacking

There is a setting at the offer-level for stacking or not.

If your store settings are set to 'No Stacking', you will not see offer-level stacking settings.

AIQ Ecommerce will run through all discounts in the order of the best discount and if we hit that it's Not Stacking at the Offer-level, we will not apply it.

  • IF the #1 best discount is set to Not Stack, the customer will get ONLY that discount since it's the best one, but does not stack with any others.
  • For example, if the Store-level Settings are set to 'Allow Stacking':

If the Store-level Settings are set to 'No Double Stacking', this will act the same as outlined above in 'Allow Stacking', except it will also NOT apply multiple cart discounts AND will NOT apply multiple of the same item-level discounts per No-Double-Stacking rules.

At this time, loyalty and offers will stack. If stores do not want loyalty redemptions to stack, use the offer settings β€œdo not stack this offer” and we will apply the best discount.

"Limit use per order" aka Stacking Limit

Customers can redeem multiple of the same deal by default (if your store-level stacking settings allow for it). Use the 'Limit use per order' setting to restrict only X number of redemptions of this offer per order.
