You can create new discounts in the Discounts view of the Back Office.
Discounts can be percentage or fixed price discounts.
A percentage type discount can be created and used for all products; in this case do not select any products to be discounted.
On the other hand, a fixed price discount cannot be created for all products; you need to select the products/product categories when creating the discount.
Using a reason code when creating new discounts is strongly recommended, because only discounts with reason codes will be listed in the Discount Report view. Note that you need to create a reason code first to be able to select it from the drop-down menu in step 5.
