Frequently Asked Questions

What is a discount?▼

A discount is a reduction in the original price of a product or service. It can be expressed as a percentage (like 25% off) or a fixed amount (like $10 off).

How do you calculate discount?▼

For percentage discounts: Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100). Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount.

What's the difference between discount and markdown?▼

A discount is typically temporary (like a sale), while a markdown is a permanent price reduction. Both reduce the original price but for different business reasons.

How do bulk discounts work?▼

Bulk discounts offer better prices when you buy larger quantities. For example, "Buy 5 or more and get 15% off" encourages customers to purchase more items.

Can discounts be combined?▼

This depends on the retailer's policy. Some allow stacking (applying multiple discounts), while others apply only the best single discount. Always check the terms and conditions.
