Checkout variations

Note that, you may observe the following four variations to the checkout when using Discount Ninja:

Standard checkout

Used when:

No Discount Ninja promotions are applied to the cart

This mode:

Has a "return to cart" link.
Has a "discount field" (also accepts Gift Cards if available).

Standard checkout with pre-applied discount code

Used when:

A single Shopify discount code is applied to the cart
or when Discount Ninja is configured to use the "Discount code mode" checkout mode
or when subscription products have been added to the cart and the app is configured to handle "mixed" (a mix of subscription and non-subscription products) carts

This mode:

Has a "return to cart" link.
Has a "discount field" (also accepts Gift Cards if available) which is pre-filled with a discount code.

Advanced checkout without discount field

Used when at least one Discount Ninja promotion is applied to the cart and Discount Ninja is configured to use the "standard" checkout mode.
Does not have a "return to cart" link (limitation of Shopify platform).
Does not have a "discount field", but Gift Cards can be used if available.
This is the default checkout option when using Discount Ninja.

Advanced checkout with a discount field

Note: this approach is not recommended due to side effects listed in the app

Does not have a "return to cart" link (limitation of Shopify platform).
