# Max Amount

### What is **Max Amount**?

**Max Amount** is a setting that lets you **cap the discount value** when using percentage-based discounts.

Without this, a 50% discount on a cart worth ₹10,000 would give away ₹5,000 — which is probably not what you intended.

With **Max Amount**, you can say:

> “Give 50% off, but only up to ₹200.”

### 💡 Example

Let’s say you're offering:

* **50% off**
* With a **Max Amount of ₹200**

#### Scenario:

* A customer adds a product worth **₹1,490**.
* 50% of ₹1,490 = ₹745
* But your max discount is **₹200**, so:

> 🧾 The final discount applied will be **₹200**,\
> 💰 Customer pays ₹1,290 instead of ₹745!

### ✅ Why Use Max Amount?

**Prevent Discount Abuse.**\
Cap your discount generosity to avoid unintended losses — especially important when:

* You’re running store-wide percentage discounts
* You want to incentivize without giving too much away
* You’re stacking discounts with other offers
