Overview
A package option discount is a reduction in the retail price limited to the selected package option. Any global discount rules will be disabled once a package discount is applied.

A package option discount will not be applied to an item, only to an item's package option. This gives a Web site owner the ability to offer a discount if a customer purchases the package, rather than buying the individual item seperately.


[ In the above example, there is no discount applied to the item ]



[ However, in this example the item is discounted as a part of a "build your own stereo" package ]
