Introduction

A Subscription Sequence Discount allows merchants to apply different discounts to each recurring subscription order.

This feature supports structured discounting based on order sequence and delivery frequency, improving long-term subscription engagement.

Merchants can configure discounts for each renewal cycle, such as higher discounts on early orders or gradual incentives over time.
