Creating A Global Discount
StoreFront gives you the ability to create a global discount within your web. This will allow you
to discount all orders placed in the web by a certain percentage while the discount is active.
The global discount can not be applied to specific products or product categories,
manufacturers, or vendors; only to all orders placed within the site. Follow the instructions
below to create a global discount in your site.
1. Open the Merchant Tools in your browser. Click the Administer Sales and
Discounts link under the Daily Store Management section.
2. Enter the amount of the global discount in the Global Discount field. This should be
a decimal value. For example, .1 will create a 10% global discount.
3. Check Activate Global Discount
4. Click Submit.
ORDER PROCESSING
The default transaction processing method for StoreFront 5.0 is Email Merchant Processing.
In email merchant processing, when orders are placed in your site you will be sent an email
containing the details of the customer’s order and either the customer’s payment information
or a link to retrieve the information securely. You can then authorize the transaction using a
credit card terminal. This method is usually fine for most smaller e-commerce webs, but you
may eventually want to investigate opening an account with an automated transaction
processing service. These are companies that will process credit card orders automatically as
they are placed, saving you the trouble of processing them manually. Refer to the StoreFront
