This guide will walk you through how to create a discount that rewards customers when they purchase multiple pairs of sunglasses. With this setup, customers get **$100 off each additional item after the first one**, making it a great way to boost order size and encourage repeat purchases.

### 🛍️ What This Discount Does

We're going to create a discount that:

1. Applies **only to sunglasses**.
2. Kicks in **when a customer buys more than 1 pair**.
3. Applies a **$100 discount to every item after the first**.

***

### Step 1: Create the Discount

Start by setting up a fixed amount discount:

* **Discount Name:** `100 off`
* **Type:** `Fixed Amount`
* **Value:** `100`

This means $100 will be taken off qualifying items when the discount conditions are met.

***

### Step 2: Choose Eligible Products

Under **Cart Groups**, create a group called `Sunglasses`.

* Set the condition to: **Product collection → is → Sunglasses**

This ensures that only items in your sunglasses collection are considered for the offer.

🧠 *Pro Tip:* Keeping the discount collection-specific helps you avoid accidentally discounting other products.
{% endhint %}

***

### Step 3: Set the Purchase Requirement

Under **Rules**, set:

* **Sunglasses → Quantity sum → is greater than → 1**

This ensures that the discount will only apply when a customer adds more than one pair of sunglasses to their cart.

***

### Step 4: Set the Discount Target

Under **Targets**, choose:

* **Sunglasses**

This tells the system to apply the discount only to sunglasses in the cart.

***

### Step 5: Apply the Discount to All But One Item

Go to the **Maximum Quantity** section and enter:

* **Limit to:** `-1 items`

This setting means the discount will apply to **all items except one**—perfect for applying the discount to every item after the first.

📌 *Note:* A negative value like `-1` means "exclude this number of items from the discount."

***

#### 💡 Example: How It Works

If a customer adds **3 quantity of sunglasses** to their cart:

* 1st item: Full price
* 2nd item: $100 off
* 3rd item: $100 off

***

#### ✅ Final Steps

* Make sure the discount is **active**.
* Test it in your store to confirm it works correctly for 2 or more sunglasses.

By offering a strong discount on extra items, you're giving shoppers a reason to buy more—boosting both sales and customer satisfaction!
