# Discount types

Free, Percentage, Fixed Amount Off and Fixed Price, and how each one changes the rate.

Choose the type under **Discount value** in each delivery discount.

## Free

The rate becomes $0.

## Percentage

Takes a percentage off the rate, for example 50% off makes $12.00 into $6.00. The maximum is 100%.

## Fixed Amount Off

Takes a set amount off the rate, for example $5 off makes $12.00 into $7.00.

If the amount is more than the rate, the rate becomes free. It never goes below $0. This makes it ideal for a "shipping credit" such as "$25 off shipping".

## Fixed Price

Sets the rate to a flat price, for example $5 makes $12.00 into $5.00.

Rates that already cost $5 or less are left alone. Fixed Price never increases a rate.

## Other currencies

Fixed amounts and fixed prices are entered in your store's currency. For customers paying in another currency, they're converted automatically using Shopify's exchange rate. See [Selling in multiple currencies](https://rmewfqxya.us.gleap.help/en/articles/12-selling-in-multiple-currencies.md).

## What customers see

At checkout, the discounted rate shows the original price crossed out, with your discount's title (or code) underneath.
