Actions

After adding condition, the last step is to add actions for Cart Price Rule. Under actions, set the discount, for,

• Percent of product price discount– Percentage of discount
• Fixed amount discount– Fixed amount of discount
• Fixed amount discount for whole cart– Whole cart fixed amount discount
