Frequently asked questions
How are two discounts calculated?
Successive discounts are applied one after another, so 20% plus 10% produces an effective discount of 28%, not 30%.
What does effective discount mean?
It is the total saving expressed as a percentage of the original price.
Can I use only one discount?
Yes. Enter 0 for the additional discount.
