# Discounts and tips overview

With Ecwid API, you can set up different discounts, tips, and surcharges. All of them can be applied to orders manually or be automated.

{% hint style="info" %}
Different types of discounts can stack at the checkout. For example, bulk discount prices for products and discount coupons.
{% endhint %}

For example, you can set up:

* **Discount coupons for customers**. Every coupon has a unique code that must be entered manually by customers at the checkout start.
* **Tips selection at the checkout**. Customers can choose between pre-defined tip options like 5% or 10%, or enter their own value.
* **Automatic advanced discounts**. With the promotions feature, you can set up highly configurable discounts that work automatically at the checkout.
* **Promotional free products**. Promotions feature also allows you to offer free products upon meeting certain conditions like order total.
* **Bulk prices for specific products**. If a customer adds a certain quantity of one product to the cart, it gets a discounted price. Such prices are also visible on product pages.
* **Automatic order processing fees**. Fees can be automatically calculated on your server and applied to orders at the checkout.
