• ID – each rule gets a unique ID;
• Rule – a name of the rule;
• Coupon Code – a coupon code associated with the rule, if any;
• Start – a date when a rule becomes active;
• End – a date when a rule’s active period expires;

In the Rule Information section, first, you should create the name of a new rule. Here, you can also add a more detailed description of the promo rule. Then, set the rule’s status as active or inactive, select websites where you want to apply it, as well as customer groups to which the rule will be applicable.

The same section allows adding a discount coupon to the configured promo rule. If you select a “Specific Coupon” option in the Coupon field, you will be able to enter its code and the number of uses per coupon and customer. Alternatively, you can enable auto-generation of coupon codes. Here, you also specify a period when the rule will be available and set its priority.

Next, you should enter a discount amount and specify a maximum number of items to which the discount will be applied, as well as a discount quantity step. Here, you also decide whether to apply the discount to subtotal amount only or both the shipping and subtotal amounts and whether to discard subsequent rules. Then, you can select specific conditions based on the cart item or product attributes that will define to which items in the cart the rule will be assigned. Besides, you decide how free shipping should be applied. For the Free Gift action type, you should also specify an SKU of a product that will be used as a free gift.
