Real-World Use Cases

Payment Gateway Fees
Offset credit card processing costs by adding a 2-3% surcharge for card payments while keeping cash-on-delivery free.

Location-Based Pricing
Add handling fees for remote areas, or offer discounts to customers in your local region.

Minimum Order Incentives
“Spend $100 and get $10 off” – Encourage larger orders with automatic discounts.

First-Time Buyer Discounts
Welcome new customers with exclusive discounts on their first order.

The more they buy, the more they save. Create progressive discount tiers based on cart value.
