The Conditions tab decides when a discount applies. Add one or more condition rows, and the rule fires only when they are satisfied. Conditions are what turn a blunt store-wide discount into a precise, targeted offer.
Include, Exclude, and logic
Every condition row has an Include / Exclude selector:
- Include – the condition passes when the specified items are present.
- Exclude – the condition passes when the specified items are not present.
When a rule has several conditions, an AND / OR toggle controls how they combine: AND requires all of them, OR requires any one.

Conditions only decide whether a rule runs. The size of the discount is set entirely on the Actions tab. A rule with no conditions applies whenever it is active.
Because conditions evaluate the live cart, test the boundaries: an empty cart, a cart just below and just above a subtotal threshold, and a mixed cart. This confirms the rule fires exactly when you intend.
