This tutorial describes the steps to provide a discount on all products in a specific category. The discount will only be available to customers who have a current subscription to a specified product.

Overview

When a customer has a current subscription to product Z, the store will apply a discount to all products in category X, in the amount of Y (dollars or percent).
If the customer does not have a subscription to product Z, then the discount will not be applied.

To replicate this type of functionality, use the Event Engine Editor to create an event with the following trigger and result settings:
