Important:
Flat-rate discounts apply per item quantity. Increasing quantity increases the total discount value.
Each line item can receive only one discount. If multiple discounts are eligible, the highest-value discount applies.
A product discount applies to every eligible item in the order — you can't cap it at "the first N items." If a product discount qualifies, it applies to all matching line items in that order. There is no setting that discounts only the first few qualifying items and charges full price for the rest. This is why a "comp up to 4 tasting fees per member, charge for the 5th+" rule can't be built as an automatic discount (usage limits count discount redemptions, not items within one order). To cap the number of discounted items in a single order, handle it manually at checkout.

How Automatic Discounts Combine With Others
An order always ends with one final discount outcome. When several discounts are eligible, Corksy applies the combination that produces the highest total discount value and ignores the rest.
Automatic discounts can combine (stack) with others only when you put them in a stacking set (Discounts → Stacking):
Product-level: up to 24 product discounts plus 1 shipping discount together (25 total).
Order-level: 1 order discount plus 1 shipping discount together (product discounts do not apply when an order discount does).
Each line item still receives only one discount (the highest-value one), and only one shipping discount applies per order. For the full rules, see Discounts and Discount Stacking Rules.
Eligibility Rules
Eligibility controls who can receive the discount.
Customer Eligibility Options

Customer tags are evaluated at the time of order.
Sales Channel Controls (Optional)
You may limit discounts to specific order types:
Point of Sale
Website
Manual

Bulk
Reservations
Minimum Requirements
Minimum requirements determine whether a discount becomes eligible.
Options include:
No minimum
Minimum purchase amount (cart subtotal)
Minimum total item quantity
Minimum items from a product type
Minimum items from specific collections
Buy X products with minimum quantity
If minimum requirements are not met, the discount does not apply.
Reservation orders do not enforce minimum requirements.
Usage Limits
Control how often a discount can be used.
Options:
Maximum total uses
Maximum uses per customer
Usage limits apply across all channels.
Important:
Removing a discount from an order does not consume usage.
Usage limits are rechecked at order completion.
A discount may appear valid during checkout but fail if the usage limit is reached before completion.
Usage limits count how many times a discount is used — not how many items it discounts in one order. "Maximum uses per customer = 4" means the customer can redeem the discount on 4 separate orders; it does not mean "only 4 items get the discount." Within a single order, an eligible discount applies to all qualifying items. So a rule like "comp up to 4 tasting fees per member within a date range" can't be enforced automatically — if a member buys 5 tasting fees in one order, all 5 are comped. This specific use case is a logged feature request (INTAKE‑2560); until it ships, cap it manually at checkout.
