Once the **discount by payment method** is activated, it will be **automatically applied to all future purchases made with that payment method**, according to the defined percentage.

The discount becomes **active immediately after it is enabled**.

| Finally, when you activate the credit card discount option, the discount will appear highlighted in the checkout as “5% OFF” (or the percentage you define).

Once selected, the discount will be **automatically applied to the order total**.
