Discount voucher
A discount voucher is a promo code for a fixed amount, for example 5.00 CA$ or 20.00 CA$. The discount voucher takes this amount off the order. This page explains how the discount voucher is deducted and what happens to the rest.
How the discount voucher looks in the cart
After you apply a discount voucher, the cart shows a separate line “Promo code” with the code's name and a minus amount. The product prices do not change. The discount is in this separate line.
Examples
All amounts are in Canadian dollars.
Example 1: 5.00 CA$ discount voucher, products for 30.00 CA$
| Products | Voucher | Products after the voucher |
|---|---|---|
| 30.00 | −5.00 | 25.00 |
Example 2: the voucher is worth more than the products, the rest goes to the delivery
| Products | Delivery | Voucher | Products after the voucher | Delivery after the voucher | Lost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15.00 | 4.00 | 20.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 1.00 |
The discount voucher first lowers the products: 15.00 CA$ of 20.00 CA$. The remaining 5.00 CA$ lower the delivery from 4.00 CA$ to 0.00 CA$. The last 1.00 CA$ cannot be used and is lost. In the cart, the delivery part is a separate line “Promo code … (delivery)”.
Example 3: large voucher and small order
| Products | Delivery | Voucher | You pay | Lost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30.00 | 4.00 | 50.00 | 0.00 | 16.00 |
The unused part of the discount voucher is not kept for the next order. If the voucher is worth more than you need now, add more products up to the value of the voucher.
Example 4: percentage promo code and discount voucher together
| Products | After 10% promo code | After 5.00 voucher |
|---|---|---|
| 50.00 | 45.00 | 40.00 |
The percentage promo code is applied first, then the discount voucher. The voucher takes its fixed amount off the already lowered price.
Discount voucher and minimum order amount
The minimum order amount is 5.00 $. If the amount falls below it, the site shows the minimum order amount (5.00 $) and hides the buttons to continue.
The site compares 5.00 $ with the amount of the products before the discount voucher. Example: if the products cost more than 5.00 $ and the voucher is worth more than them, the amount to pay becomes 0.00 CA$, but the order goes through, because the products are above the minimum amount.
If the cart also has a percentage promo code, the site compares 5.00 $ with the amount after the percentage promo code but before the voucher. If the percentage promo code brings the amount below 5.00 $, you cannot continue, even if the voucher is small. Add products so that the amount after the percentage promo code is at least 5.00 $.
