Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a percentage and fixed discount?
A 20% discount on $100 saves $20. A $20 fixed discount is also $20. Percentage discounts scale with price, fixed discounts are the same for everyone.
How deep should my discount be?
10-20% is standard for most promotions. Discounts over 30% may signal desperation and can devalue your brand in customers eyes.
When should I use a discount vs a coupon?
Discounts are typically store-wide promotions. Coupons are targeted offers for specific customers or products, often used for remarketing.
