[tonysar]

Hello. 

I am trying to add a shopping cart rule . Buy X amount of Dollar and save 5% off total cart. 

I tried many ways to do that . but rule dose not show in shopping cart. 

Dose any one have any idea how to go about correctly applying  this rule in cart ? 

Do i need to create Coupon code as well ? 

any suggestion would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Hello @tonysar 

Can you please share the information that how you tried to create the rule?
I will check that and inform you to fix your issues.

Aldo, you need to follow the below steps.

1. Fill out the cart price rule form
2. Add conditions for the X amount matched with cart price.
3. add fix percentage discount at the Actions stage.

then save and apply rules.
Your rule will be applied.

hello and thanks for reply. 

I managed to fix this . I apply rule for Subtotal ( excluding tax ) and it works. 

I was hopping a message display to customer in cart telling them if they add set amount to their cart , they will receive discount . however, massage only shows when discount is applied. 

again  thanks for the help.
