To create an Amount Off Promotion
The Amount Off Promotion will need to be created. To make an Amount Off Promotion :
First, open the Products module.
Click on the Promotions button.

This will open the Manage Promotion window where you will need to set the promotion Name and Type. Use the drop-down menu to select the Amount Off type.
When you set the Type, some of the settings options will change.
Set the Amount Off Each to how much off the price the customer should receive when the promotion conditions are fulfilled.
Under the Qualifiers Per Product section, you can set the Min Buy Qty to how many of the items need to be purchased to earn the reward.
The two radio buttons can control whether any of the products in the promotion can be purchased if more than one is required (Mix and Match) or if it has to be multiple of the same product only.
The Product Subtotal Range
The Product Price Range can be used to set what price range you want the products that qualify to be within.
Max Qty Per Sale can be used to limit how many products get the discount as part of each sale. Example: Only one discount per transaction.
Limit # Total Invoices is used to set how many times the promotion’s discount will apply. Example: The promotion only applies to the first 100 customers who claim it.
The Qualifiers tab will be the first tab by default. In the Qualifiers Per Invoice section, there are several options that can be set for how the promotion is applied.
