# Discount Type - Cheapest

We are excited to announce the introduction of a new discount feature, **Cheapest**, designed to provide greater flexibility and savings for your customers. This feature allows you to automatically apply a discount to the lowest-priced item in a transaction when enabled. 

Whether you are running a special promotion or looking to enhance customer satisfaction, this feature offers a unique way to increase value while maintaining simplicity.

### How to create the cheapest discount for our account?

Example: Buy 2 Get 1 Free 

Let's say, 

Item A = INR 100
Item B = INR 200
Item C = INR 50

When the above three items are added to the cart the Item C will be given 100% discount.

Please follow the below steps to create cheapest discount type,  

###### Step 1: Create Cheapest Discount

* Fill in the requested details, 

**Category** - Choose the category on which this discount should be applied. 
**Prerequisite value** - Enter the minimum value required for the discount to be applied. 

For example, we have selected the category **Breakfast Cereals** , type **quantity** and the prerequisite value as **3**, by means the discount will be applied only when 3 qty of any item from breakfast cereals is added to the cart.

* Fill the requested details,

**Category** - Choose the category which was chosen on buy criteria 
**Select Discount Type** - **Fixed** or **Percentage**
**Enter Get Discount Value** - Enter the discount value based on type chosen
**Enter Max Discount Quantity** - Enter the maximum time this discount should be applied on a single sale 

For example, in the below image we have chosen the category as **breakfast cereal**, with discount type **percentage**, the discount value is **100** and max discount quantity as **1**. 
So when I add 3 qty of either same item or different item from this category a discount of 100 % will be applied for the cheapest item on the cart.

# Loyalty Point Expiry

This option enables merchants to set an expiry time for the loyalty points attained by customer which in turn assist on getting the customer to redeem the points within the expiry period.
