# Match your sale to a Smarty discount type

> Map your promotion idea to the right Smarty type and the parts of the editor that matter most.

<Info>
  Use this when you **know the sale** but are unsure **which row** to pick under **Create discount**, or **which parts** of [Create a discount](create-discount) to focus on.
</Info>

**In the app:** **Amount off order** = whole cart; **Amount off product** = specific catalog lines; **Amount off shipping** = shipping; **Combine discount** = product + optional order + shipping from **one eligibility** gate ([guide](discount-types/combine-discounts)); with **Discount code**, shoppers redeem **one** code for **all** enabled tabs together—not separate codes per tab; **Buy X get Y…** = bundles and gifts; **Mix & match set** = all-or-nothing product sets; **Discount code rejection** = block qualifying codes at checkout ([type guide](discount-types/discount-code-rejection)).

Always run the full [Create a discount](create-discount) flow. The editor order is shared, but some sections only appear for certain types. The tables below highlight **which sections matter most** for each type.

    <Tip>
      **Discount code rejection** stops selected codes **at checkout** with your message—it does **not** apply %-off savings. Use **Orders**/**Products** discounts for money off.
