Introduction

Maximum capped amount for discounted promotions is a feature in Eber that allows businesses to set limits on percentage-based discounts applied through promo codes. This prevents excessive discounting on high-value purchases while maintaining flexible promotional structures. For example, a 20% discount capped at $50 means a $500 purchase will only receive a maximum discount of $50, protecting your profit margins on larger transactions.
