Discounts are defined globally, that is you define as many different discount options, as you need for your whole store and then apply the relevant discount to each product when you create your inventory.
TecknaShop has 3 different methods of discounting:
x items for the price of y items (for example, 3 for the price of 2 of a particular product.)
x % discount on goods value over y (for example, 10% off if you spend over £100 in total, 5% discount if you order $10 worth of this product.)
Free shipping on orders over x value (for example, free shipping if you order over £100 worth of goods.)
When applied at product or whole order value, before or after tax, this equates to 10 possible variations of the methods (tax is irrelevant in x for the price of y calculations). Note: The use of the maximum shipping rate method, as explained in Tax and Shipping Options, introduces a further method).
To add a new discount click, the Add button in the discount menu. You will now enter the add new discount menu which will require you to enter the following criteria:

Options.

days the discount, is valid (non-entry into this field makes the discount
apply all of the time
Then, one of:
x items for the price of y items - enter x and y figures, and whether the lowest or highest price item should be discounted (when applying the discount at order level).
x % off over y value ordered - enter x and y figures, and whether the discount is to be applied before tax, or after.
No shipping charge for orders over x value - enter x figure, and whether the discount is to be applied before tax, or after.
Click either the Add

Repeat this process for each discount method that you wish to add.
From the drop down list, choose the discount that you wish to amend then click on the View/Edit button to enter the existing discount menu. Note: You can only change the specific discount values and you cannot change the method of the discount. To save the changes made to the discount click the Update button.
In the discount menu select the discount from the drop down list that you wish to delete, once selected click on the Delete button. When deleting, a confirm checkbox is displayed in order to avoid accidental deletions. This box needs to be checked before the delete button becomes effective.
Click the "Choose a Discount Level" Go button to apply a discount at a product/variant level or to the basket order as a whole. If basket level is selected, a pre-entered discount scheme must be associated with it in order to let the software know which scheme from the ones previously entered applies. The pre-entered discount scheme is selected from the drop down list labelled basket level. You also have the option of applying the discount pre or post tax. Click the Update button to apply the level.
