# Discount rules (requirements)

Marketing and promotions

A discount without requirements applies to everyone. **Discount rules**, on the discount's **Requirements** tab, narrow it down: only for members, only above a cart value, only when a certain product is in the cart. Rules come from discount rule plugins; GrandNode ships with the **Standard discount requirements** plugin.

### Add a rule

1. Open the discount and click the **Requirements** tab.
2. Under **Add a new discount requirement**, choose a **Discount rule**.
3. Fill in the rule's settings and click **Save** inside the rule's box.

![The Requirements tab of Members 5 percent with the rule Must be assigned to customer group set to Registered](https://grandnode.com/Plugins/Theme.GrandNodeCom/Content/kb/marketing/discount-rule-customer-group.webp)

A customer group rule: only registered customers get 5% off.

![The Requirements tab of Free shipping over 75 with the rule SubTotal in Shopping Cart x.xx set to 75.00](https://grandnode.com/Plugins/Theme.GrandNodeCom/Content/kb/marketing/discount-rule-subtotal.webp)

A cart subtotal rule: free shipping from 75.

### The standard rules

| Rule | The discount applies when |
|---|---|
| Must be assigned to customer group | The customer belongs to the chosen group (Registered, a wholesale group, VIP...). |
| Had spent x.xx amount | The customer's completed orders add up to at least the amount - a loyalty reward. |
| SubTotal in Shopping Cart x.xx | The products in the cart are worth at least the amount. |
| Customer has all of these products in the cart | Every listed product is in the cart - a "buy the set" deal. |
| Customer has one of these products in the cart | At least one listed product is in the cart. |

When a discount has several rules, all of them must be met. **Remove requirement** deletes a rule.

### More rules

Other conditions - a date of birth, a first order, a country - can be added with discount rule plugins. Developers: see [For developers](https://grandnode.com/docs-developers).
