How do special offers appear to customers?
Once an offer is activated, it appears to the customer during checkout inside the cart summary. The discount details are shown clearly, whether it is a free product, a fixed discount amount, or a percentage discount.
You can also customize a short message that appears to customers explaining the offer benefits, helping motivate them to complete their purchase.
If the offer conditions are not met, the offer will not appear, ensuring a personalized shopping experience without unnecessary confusion.
Special offer: Fixed price
An offer on selected products with a fixed price of SAR/AED 15.
Special offer: Buy X Get Y
If the customer purchases from a specific category, they receive 30% off the second item from the same category.
Special offer: Percentage discount on purchases
The customer receives a 10% discount applied across all products.
Special offers page
From the main menu, click (Marketing), then click (Special Offers).
The Special Offers page will appear like this:
Main tabs in the special offers section
The main navigation bar includes the following tabs:
- Coupons: Displays all discount coupons available in the store.

Step by step: Creating a new offer that attracts customers
You can create a new offer by clicking (Create New Offer).
1. Enter offer details
Fill in the offer information, such as:
- Offer name (example: Ramadan Offers)
- Start date and end date
Then select the offer type you want to apply to the cart.
2. Define offer conditions
Set the criteria required for customers to benefit from the offer, such as:
- The platform where the offer will appear
- The customer group eligible for the offer
- The country and markets where the offer will apply
Note: The market selection option appears only for merchants using the multi-market feature. Stores without multi-market enabled will apply offers across the entire store by default.
You can customize offer or coupon application for a specific country or market to support your expansion goals.
Note: Customer groups are available only in the Pro and Special plans.
Example
You can create an offer targeting customers who spend more than SAR/AED 200, visible through the store browser or app. You can also limit it to customers inside Saudi Arabia, specifically within the Saudi market.
Offer type one: Buy product X get Y
1. Select what the customer must purchase
Define the quantity, products, or categories required.
2. Define what the customer receives
Set the reward once conditions are met.
3. Enable offer with coupons
When allowing the offer to work alongside discount coupons, the offer will still apply even if a coupon is used. Offers and coupons can be combined.
Example:
When a customer buys Caldo Daqoos Original Plain 350g, they receive the same product for free (100% discount).

Basic rules for applying discounts
- Coupons are always applied first in the cart and deducted before other discounts—except when a special price is available. In that case, the special price is applied first, followed by the coupon.
- Newer offers are deducted before older ones, unless the merchant has set a custom priority order.
- Coupon and offer conflicts can be managed separately for each offer. (Coupon settings are handled independently.)
- An offer or coupon will only apply if all of its terms and conditions are met. If the customer does not meet the requirements, the discount will not be applied.
- Customers can receive the offer every time they meet its conditions.
- Prioritization rules apply only to orders placed after these settings are saved. Orders created before the update are not affected.
- Important note: When selecting products or categories for an offer, you can choose up to 50 products or 50 categories, giving you more flexibility in designing promotions.
