Your First Automatic Discount

This walkthrough creates a simple “Spend £50, get 10% off” tiered discount. By the end, your store will automatically apply the discount to any cart that hits the threshold — no coupon code needed.

Step by step

Open the recipe picker

Navigate to WooCommerce → Dino Discounts and click the + Create Discount button in the top toolbar.

If this is your first visit, you’ll see an empty state with a “Create your first discount” button instead — it does the same thing.

Pick the “Spend & Save” recipe

The recipe picker shows 18 templates grouped by what you want to achieve. Under Order Discounts, select “Spend & Save”.

Set the discount amount

The wizard opens with your chosen recipe pre-filled. On the Discount tab, set:

Field	What to enter
Minimum spend	50
Discount type	Percentage
Discount amount	10

Want multiple tiers? Click Add Tier and add more — for example, spend £100 → 15% off, spend £200 → 20% off.

Save as draft

Click Save Draft in the top-right corner. Your discount is saved but not live on your store yet.

Drafts are safe

Saving a draft never affects your live store. You can experiment freely — nothing changes for customers until you explicitly publish.

Preview in the cart simulator

With your discount saved, look at the Live Preview panel on the right side of the wizard. It shows how the discount applies to a simulated cart so you can verify it before publishing.

Publish your discount

When you’re happy:

1. Click the Discounts tab at the top of the admin to go back to the list
2. You’ll see an unsaved changes banner at the top
3. Click Publish to open the publish modal
4. Review the “What goes live” summary
5. Click Publish Discounts

Your discount is now live. Any customer whose cart reaches £50 will automatically see 10% off.

Explore the optional wizard tabs

The wizard has extra tabs beyond Discount that are all optional. Targeting restricts the discount to specific products, categories, or customer roles. Schedule sets start and end dates. Cart Labels customises the discount line text customers see at checkout. Upsell Messages shows nudges like “Add £15 more for 15% off!” on product and cart pages. None of these are required — the discount works without them.

Made a mistake? You can always roll back

Every time you publish, Dino Discounts saves a snapshot of your discount configuration. If something goes wrong, open the History tab in the admin, pick any previous snapshot, and click Restore to rewind to that exact state.
