4. A pop-up window will open with the following fields:

• Name (obligatory field): Enter the name of the new discount.
• Qualification (obligatory field): Select whether the discount can be applied based on the whole order, a single products, or have the ability to use it in both levels orders or product.

• Discount Amount:
  • If selected a fixed-type discount, write the amount of the discount to be applied on orders or products (i.e.: If you type 50, then it the discount will deducted 50 from the total order or the product).
  • If selected percentage-type discount, write the percentage discount to be applied on orders or products (i.e.: If you type 20, then it will discount by 20%).
• Maximum Discount: Enter the maximum amount of discount in case of applying percentage-type discount. 
  • If you set 100 SAR as maximum discount, and the total order is 1000 SAR with a 50% discount, then only 100 SAR will be discounted rather than 500 SAR as we set the limit that if it reaches 100 SAR, stop discounting. 
• Reference: Enter the reference number or ID of the discount.
• Taxable: Check this box if you want the customer to pay the associated taxes of the order before applying the discount. If you leave it unchecked, the customer will not pay any taxes associated with the order.

Clarification about taxable discount: Check this if you want the customer to pay the full amount of taxes of the order before applying the discount. If you leave it unchecked, the customer will not pay the full amount of taxes of the order.

For example, if the full amount of the order including tax is 105 SAR and 100% discount applied on the order, there are two scenarios:

• Checked: the client should pay tax amount 5 SAR only.
• Unchecked: no need to pay any amount.
