Configuring discount rules
Discount rules are userfriendly representations of discount- and free shipping offer-related macro conditions. These conditions allow your on-line store administrators to limit the application of discounts (catalog and order) and free shipping offers. If the condition is evaluated as true, the respective discount / free shipping offer is valid and the system applies it (unless configured otherwise).
