About the Custom Discount Triggers Service Plugin

As a discount trigger provider, you can integrate with Wix to provide a merchant's stores or businesses with custom triggers that specify when a discount applies on the site's cart and checkout pages. Together with discount rules, custom triggers define the necessary conditions for a discount to apply. For example, a trigger that only fires between 4pm-6pm on Mondays through Thursdays.

The integration is done via an app in the Wix App Market and by implementing the Custom Discount Triggers service plugin. After the app is installed on a site, Wix triggers a call to your service whenever actions are performed on the cart or checkout entities/pages. For example, when adding an item to the cart.

Using the service plugin, you can design your app to:

  • Offer a happy hour discount.
  • Offer a sale on digital products.

Before you begin

To use a custom trigger to apply a discount, you must first create a discount rule. Create an automatic discount using the dashboard, or by using the Discount Rules API.
