Offering discounts can be a powerful marketing strategy for your store and UFE will make sure that you will get the most out of it.
There are two methods for applying discounts in UFE, Draft Order and Discount codes.
By default, UFE is using the Draft order method.

Draft orders allow us to create orders on behalf of merchants. It is similar to the orders that your customers create for themselves. This is useful for Shopify merchants who receive orders through outside channels.
