Creating a Catalog Price Rule in Magento 2

Catalog Price Rule is used to directly offer discounts on the catalogs before products are added to the shopping cart. Catalog price rules do not use coupon codes, because they are triggered before a product is placed into the shopping cart.

It allows you to offer specific products on a discounted price based on a condition or a set of conditions. The discount is applied automatically to all the products when the conditions are met.

• From & To: Select the date range for which the Rule will be in effect.

Set Apply to one of the following:

• Apply as the percentage of original: The final product price is equal to the original price minus a percentage of the original price. For example, the original price is $50 and after being discounted for 10%, the final price is $50 – (10% x $50) = $45.

• Apply as fixed amount: The final product price is equal to the original price minus a fixed amount set up in Discount Amount. For example, the original price is $100, and you set a fixed amount discount is $20, the final price is $100 – $20 = $80.

• Adjust final price to this percentage: Discounts item by defining the final price based on percentage. For example, The original price is $100, and you enter 40 in Discount Amount, the final price is $100 x 40% = $40.
