# Item Based Discount

How to access on Fynd Commerce 
Commerce panel → Sales Channel (select application) → Marketing → Offers

## What Is It?

The Item Based Discount offer applies specific percentage discounts to selected items in the cart based on their position after sorting all cart items by price from highest to lowest.

You assign a discount percentage to specific position numbers (e.g. 2nd most expensive item gets 15% off). Each item’s discount can also have its own optional maximum discount cap.

## When to Use It

* “Second item at 50% off” promotions
* “Third item free” campaigns
* Position-based fashion/lifestyle offers
* Multi-buy progressive discounts


## Key Parameters

| Parameter | What It Means |
|  --- | --- |
| Item’s Sequence Number (SN) (required) | Position of item after sorting by price (1 = highest) |
| Discount Percentage (D) (required) | Discount % for that position |
| Maximum Discount Amount (MD) (optional) | Cap on discount for that item |


## Discount Formula


```id="item-based-formula"
Per-item Discount = Min(MD, (IV × D / 100))
```


```id="item-based-total"
Total Discount = Sum of all item discounts
```

Where:

* IV = Item value
* D = Discount %
* MD = Maximum discount cap


## Worked Example

**Offer:**
2nd item → 15% off
3rd item → 25% off (MD ₹300)

### Cart (sorted high → low)

| Position | Item | Price |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Sneakers | ₹4,499 |
| 2 | T-shirt | ₹2,499 |
| 3 | Cap | ₹999 |


### Calculation

| Details | Value |
|  --- | --- |
| 2nd item discount | ₹374.85 |
| 3rd item discount | ₹249.75 |
| Total Discount | ₹624.60 |
| Customer Pays | ₹7,372.40 |


## How sorting works

Items are automatically sorted by price (high → low).

Position 1 = most expensive
Position 2 = second most expensive
Position 3 = third most expensive
