Frequently Asked Questions
How are multiple discounts applied?
Multiple discounts are applied sequentially, meaning each discount is calculated on the already-reduced price from the previous discount. For example, 20% off followed by 10% off on a $100 item gives $80 after the first discount, then $72 after the second -- not $70 as you might expect from simply adding 20% + 10%.
Is 20% + 10% off the same as 30% off?
No. When discounts are applied sequentially, 20% off then 10% off equals a total discount of 28%, not 30%. This is because the second 10% discount applies to the already-reduced price, not the original. The total effective discount will always be slightly less than the sum of the individual percentages.
Can I mix percentage and fixed-amount discounts?
Yes. You can freely combine percentage discounts and fixed dollar amount discounts in any order. For example, you could apply a 15% store discount first, then a $5 coupon code. Each discount type is applied in the order you list them.
What does "total discount percentage" mean?
The total discount percentage shows the overall effective discount compared to the original price. If you started at $100 and ended at $68, the total discount percentage is 32%, regardless of how many individual discounts were applied to reach that price.
