Every campaign has two key discount settings: the **discount type** (how the discount is calculated) and **what it applies to** (which price it's calculated from). ## Discount types - **% OFF Discount** — reduces the price by a percentage, e.g. 20% off. - **$ OFF Discount** — reduces the price by a fixed amount, e.g. $10 off. - **New Price** — sets every selected item to a specific price, e.g. everything $25. ## Discount applies to ### Full priced items only Applies only to items that are not already discounted — the item's price must not have a higher compare-at price. The price is updated with the discount price, and the old price is moved to the compare-at price. Use this to avoid double-discounting products that are already on sale. ![](https://base44.app/api/apps/6a2f93785e75ff50fda0649e/files/mp/public/6a2f93785e75ff50fda0649e/e114ec6e3_PriceDocsImages-RRP-Originalprice.png) ### Current sell price Applies the discount to the current **price** field, regardless of the compare-at price. Already-discounted items get a further discount on top of their existing sale price. The compare-at price remains the same. ![](https://base44.app/api/apps/6a2f93785e75ff50fda0649e/files/mp/public/6a2f93785e75ff50fda0649e/00e867e1b_PriceDocsImages-Currentsellprice.png) ### RRP / Original price Applies the discount to the **compare-at price** if one is present, or the price if there's no compare-at price — essentially, the highest present price. This cancels any existing discounts and recalculates everything from the original price, so your whole sale is consistent. ![](https://base44.app/api/apps/6a2f93785e75ff50fda0649e/files/mp/public/6a2f93785e75ff50fda0649e/a97a1dd46_PriceDocsImages-RRP-Originalprice.png) ## Prices revert automatically Whichever settings you choose, DiscountPal stores the original prices when the campaign starts and reverts them when it ends. See [How sale prices are applied](/docs/how-sale-prices-are-applied) for the full mechanics. ## Your next sale, live in minutes.
