Discounts

Lunar provides a flexible discount system supporting coupons, percentage and fixed reductions, and buy-x-get-y promotions.

Overview

Lunar provides a discount system that supports multiple discount types out of the box, including amount-off (percentage or fixed) and buy-x-get-y promotions. Discounts can be scoped to specific channels, customer groups, collections, brands, and individual products or variants.

Creating a Discount

use Lunar\Models\Discount;

Discount::create([
    'name' => '20% Coupon',
    'handle' => '20_coupon',
    'coupon' => '20OFF',
    'type' => 'Lunar\DiscountTypes\AmountOff',
    'data' => [
        'fixed_value' => false,
        'percentage' => 20,
        'min_prices' => [
            'USD' => 2000, // $20.00 minimum spend
        ],
    ],
    'starts_at' => '2024-01-01 00:00:00',
    'ends_at' => null,
    'max_uses' => null,
]);

Discount Status

The Discount model provides a status attribute that returns the current state of the discount based on its dates and usage.

use Lunar\Models\Discount;

$discount = Discount::find(1);

$discount->status; // 'active', 'pending', 'expired', or 'scheduled'

Status	Description
`active`	The discount has started and has not expired
`pending`	The discount has not started yet
`expired`	The discount has passed its `ends_at` date
`scheduled`	The discount is scheduled for a future date

Resetting the Discount Cache

For performance reasons, applicable discounts are cached per request. To reset this cache (for example, after adding a discount code to a cart), call resetDiscounts() on the Discounts facade:

use Lunar\Facades\Discounts;

Discounts::resetDiscounts();

Validating Coupons

The Discounts facade provides a method to validate whether a coupon code is valid:

use Lunar\Facades\Discounts;

$isValid = Discounts::validateCoupon('20OFF');

The default coupon validator checks that the coupon exists on an active, usable discount. The validator class can be customized in the config/lunar/discounts.php configuration file:

return [
    'coupon_validator' => \Lunar\Base\Validation\CouponValidator::class,
];

Discountable

The Discountable model links products, product variants, or collections to a discount. Each entry has a type that determines its role.

Lunar\Models\Discountable

Field	Type	Description
`id`	`bigIncrements`	Primary key
`discount_id`	`foreignId`
`discountable_type`	`string`	Morph type (e.g., `product`, `product_variant`, `collection`)
`discountable_id`	`unsignedBigInteger`	Morph ID
`type`	`string`	The role: `condition`, `exclusion`, `limitation`, or `reward`
`created_at`	`timestamp`
`updated_at`	`timestamp`

The type field determines how the discountable relates to the discount:

condition — The product or variant must be in the cart for the discount to activate.
exclusion — The product or variant is excluded from the discount.
limitation — The discount only applies to these products or variants.
reward — These products or variants are given as the reward (used by BuyXGetY).

Relationships

Relationship	Type	Related Model	Description
`discount`	`BelongsTo`	`Lunar\Models\Discount`	The parent discount
`discountable`	`MorphTo`	`Product`, `ProductVariant`, or `Collection`	The associated purchasable or collection

Built-in Discount Types

Lunar ships with two discount types. Both extend Lunar\DiscountTypes\AbstractDiscountType.

AmountOff

Lunar\DiscountTypes\AmountOff

Applies either a percentage or fixed amount discount to eligible cart lines. The data column stores the discount configuration: Percentage discount:

use Lunar\Models\Discount;

Discount::create([
    'name' => '10% Off',
    'handle' => '10_percent_off',
    'type' => 'Lunar\DiscountTypes\AmountOff',
    'data' => [
        'fixed_value' => false,
        'percentage' => 10,
        'min_prices' => [
            'USD' => 5000, // $50.00 minimum spend
        ],
    ],
    'starts_at' => now(),
    'ends_at' => null,
]);

Fixed value discount:

use Lunar\Models\Discount;

Discount::create([
    'name' => '$5 Off',
    'handle' => '5_dollars_off',
    'type' => 'Lunar\DiscountTypes\AmountOff',
    'data' => [
        'fixed_value' => true,
        'fixed_values' => [
            'USD' => 500, // $5.00 off (stored in minor units)
            'EUR' => 450,
        ],
    ],
    'starts_at' => now(),
    'ends_at' => null,
]);

BuyXGetY

Lunar\DiscountTypes\BuyXGetY

Allows “buy X, get Y free” style promotions. Condition products are defined through the discountableConditions relationship, and reward products through the discountableRewards relationship. Both relationships accept products, product variants, or collections.

use Lunar\Models\Discount;

$discount = Discount::create([
    'name' => 'Buy 2 Get 1 Free',
    'handle' => 'buy_2_get_1',
    'type' => 'Lunar\DiscountTypes\BuyXGetY',
    'data' => [
        'min_qty' => 2,
        'reward_qty' => 1,
        'max_reward_qty' => 5,
        'automatically_add_rewards' => false,
    ],
    'starts_at' => now(),
    'ends_at' => null,
]);

Data Field	Type	Description
`min_qty`	`integer`	Minimum quantity of condition products required to trigger the discount
`reward_qty`	`integer`	Number of reward items per qualifying group
`max_reward_qty`	`integer`	Maximum total reward items (optional)
`automatically_add_rewards`	`boolean`	Whether to automatically add reward items to the cart

Collection conditions and rewards Added in 1.5

A BuyXGetY discount can match against an entire collection rather than listing every product or variant individually. The match logic walks each cart line’s product, checks the collections it belongs to, and compares those against the collections attached as conditions or rewards.

use Lunar\Models\Collection;
use Lunar\Models\Discount;

$collection = Collection::find(1);

$discount = Discount::create([
    'name' => 'Buy 2 from Summer, Get 1 from Sale',
    'handle' => 'summer_sale',
    'type' => 'Lunar\DiscountTypes\BuyXGetY',
    'data' => [
        'min_qty' => 2,
        'reward_qty' => 1,
    ],
]);

$discount->collections()->attach($collection, ['type' => 'condition']);
$discount->collections()->attach($collection, ['type' => 'reward']);

Conditions and rewards can mix product, variant, and collection discountables on the same discount.

Custom Discount Types

Custom discount types can be created by extending Lunar\DiscountTypes\AbstractDiscountType:

<?php

namespace App\DiscountTypes;

use Lunar\Models\Contracts\Cart;
use Lunar\DiscountTypes\AbstractDiscountType;

class CustomDiscountType extends AbstractDiscountType
{
    /**
     * Return the name of the discount type.
     */
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'Custom Discount Type';
    }

    /**
     * Apply the discount to the cart.
     */
    public function apply(Cart $cart): Cart
    {
        // Custom discount logic...
        return $cart;
    }
}

use Lunar\Facades\Discounts;
use App\DiscountTypes\CustomDiscountType;

Discounts::addType(CustomDiscountType::class);
