Three matching rules are available: by total units in cart (e.g., 5–10 units = 2% off), by number of distinct line items, or by cart subtotal amount (e.g., $99–$199 = 2% off). Customers can see the applied discount on the Quick Order table before adding to cart, as well as on the cart page, checkout, and order emails.
