Discount rules are the core system of the Sales Campaigns plugin. To learn more about them, read the How it works documentation.

A rule works as follows : People have to meet a set of requirements. When they do, they get the discount set in the rule.

After selecting a template, click on the Add Rule button. You’ll see a popup appear. Fill it and validate to add the discount rule to your ruleset.
