# Product discount > Discount products at checkout with a simple discount, volume tiers, a bundle or Buy X Get Y, automatic or with a code. Source: https://backtrackhq.com/docs/rules/product-discount/ "Apply automatic discounts to products based on conditions." A product discount lowers the price of cart lines. It has four discount types: **Simple**, **Volume**, **Bundle** and **Buy X Get Y**. > **Tip:** Want the discount shown on your store too, with widgets > like volume tiers or a bundle card? Start from > [Promotions](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/promotions/overview/) instead. A promotion makes > the same kind of discount rule for you. ## Before you start - Decide if shoppers get the discount automatically, or must enter a code. You can't change this after you save. - Pick the products: specific products, collections, variants, tags, product types or SKUs. ## Set it up 1. **Open Rules and click Create rule.** (Screenshot: The Rules page with the Create rule button) 2. **Under Discount, find Product discount and click Select.** (Screenshot: The Choose rule type page with the Product discount card) 3. **Name the discount and pick the Method.** Choose **Automatic discount** or **Discount code**. For a code, type it or click **Generate random code**. Or click **Start from a use case** to fill in the whole form. See [Start from a use case](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/building-rules/use-cases/). (Screenshot: The Discount name card with the Method buttons) 4. **Pick a rule set and add your conditions.** In **Rule sets**, pick the set with the conditions you need. Then, under **When at checkout**, use **Always** for every cart, or a condition such as **Customer tags**. See [Conditions, groups and blocks](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/building-rules/conditions-and-groups/). (Screenshot: A product discount rule block with a Customer tags condition) 5. **In Discount Configuration, pick a Discount type and set it up.** Choose **Simple**, **Volume**, **Bundle** or **Buy X Get Y**. The fields for each type are below in [Settings](#settings). Then set the side cards: **Combinations**, **Discount strategy** and, if needed, **Active dates**. (Screenshot: The product Discount Configuration with the four discount types) 6. **Save it as a draft, test it, then activate it.** In the **Status** card, choose **Draft** and save. Then go to checkout on your store and enter the [test email](https://backtrackhq.com/docs/get-started/test-before-going-live/) from the rule's **Status** card. Only this email sees a draft rule.

For a code, shoppers see the code, not this name. #### Method Options: Automatic discount, Discount code. **Automatic discount**: "Discount is automatically applied at checkout." **Discount code**: "Customers must enter discount code at checkout." ### Discount types #### Simple "One discount on selected items."

For example 10% off 3 items, 15% off 6 items. - **Tier basis:** Quantity of items, or Subtotal amount. - **Discount based on:** All products (combined), Product or Variant. With All products, the combined total of all selected items picks one tier. With Product or Variant, each one picks its own tier. - **Exclude products already on sale:** skips items whose compare-at price is higher than their price. - **Tiers:** each has a **Minimum threshold** and a **Tier discount**. Use **Add tier** for more. #### Bundle "Items bought together." Add **Bundle groups** with **Add group**. Each group has a **Group name (optional)**, **Group items** and **Items required from this group**.
