Easily offer a discount based on the basket subtotal. The default is to calculate all product charges (including attribute charges) to determine the total. You can optionally include non-product charges in the calculation. Then in admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (amount needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding percentage off. The store owner can designate 1 - 10 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the discount based on the amount spent. The store owner can even include a list of product codes that will not be used in the calculation. The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method and payment. This allows Merchant to include (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemed on the Shipping - Payment selection screen.

the discount if those groups are in the list. If you begin the list with a minus (e.g. -Wholesale|Gold),
those price group customers will not get the discount.

applicable payment methods. Separate each method with the | character. The default is to allow
the discount if those methods are in the list. If you begin the list with a minus (e.g. -paypal:paypal|check:check),

tiers, you would leave the rest of the rows blank.
