- Advanced discount codes (Buy X get Y): You can set many thresholds. The more the customer buys, the higher discount they can get.
Note: Only experience products are supported. Discount codes can't be applied to bundles, add-ons, and value vouchers. Their values are also ignored when calculating percentage discounts.
