titleDifference between a credit slip, a voucher and a cart rule

A credit slip is first and foremost a written proof that a product has been returned. Most of the time, the user can use it as a voucher.

A voucher is a discount code which does not have to be tied to a merchandise return or a refund, and which can take many more forms than a simple credit slip:

  • a discount on an order (percentage).
  • a discount on an order (amount).
  • free shipping.

You can apply a voucher to all customers, or a group of customers, or a single customer; you can set its expiration date;

A cart rule is basically an advanced version of a voucher: in addition to what a voucher could do in PrestaShop 1.4, the cart rules system introduced in PrestaShop 1.5 enables you to:

  • Name the discount.
  • Allow the customer to use only a portion of the discount.
  • Assign priorities between cart rules.
  • Set the compatibility between cart rules.
  • Have the discount only work with some carriers.
  • Have the discount only work with a selection of products and/or categories and/or manufacturers and/or suppliers and/or attributes... or all of these at the same time if necessary.
  • Have the discount be applicable for free shipping and/or a discount on an order and/or a free gift... or all of these at the same time if necessary!

In this user guide, "cart rule" and "voucher" are synonymous and interchangeable.

The "Cart rules" page lists the currently existing cart rules, which you can enable or disable by clicking on the icons in the "Status" column.

...

The creation form has three tabs, enabling you to precisely build new rules and vouchers.

Once applied, the cart summary displays the voucher's impact on the order's amount:

Catalog price rules

Catalog price rules are a new feature from PrestaShop 1.5, which enables you to assign price reductions by category, manufacturer, supplier, attribute or feature.

For instance, you can set a rule that would say that for Spanish customers belonging to the "Good clients" group would get 10% off on your Electronics category and all Sony products for the first week of July.

The "Catalog price rules" page lists the currently existing rules, which you can edit or delete by clicking on the icons in the "Status" column. If you need to disable a rule, simply change its end date to the day before.

Creating A New Catalog Price Rule

The creation form page has two section, enabling to precisely build new rules.

Specific price rules

The first form is easy to understand. This is where you set who should benefit from the rule, what the discount should be.

  • Name. The name is public, so you should keep it casual.
  • Currency. The rule applies to customers who set to pay with a specific currency.
  • Country. The rule applies to customers from a specific country.
  • Group. The rule applies to customers who belong to a specific customer group.
  • From quantity. The rule applies the order has at least a specific number of matching products.
  • Price (tax excl.). The rule applies to orders where the price is
  • From and To. The rule applies in this time frame.
  • Reduction type. The discount can either be an amount of money, or a percentage of the order total.
  • Reduction. The value of the reduction. Depending on the "Reduction type" above, putting "10.0" in the field can either mean "$10 off" (depending on the currency) or "10% off".

You can of course combine all of these rules.
