 -------------------------

+Automatic discounts
+"""""""""""""""""""
+
+pretix can automatically grant discounts if a certain condition is met, such as a specific group size. To set this up,
+head to **Products**, **Discounts** in the event navigation and **Create a new discount**. You can choose a name so you
+can later find this again. You can also optionally restrict the discount to a specific time frame or a specific sales
+channel.
+
+Next, either select **Apply to all products** or create a selection of products that are eligible for the discount.
+
+For a **percentual group discount** similar to "if you buy at least 5 tickets, you get 20 percent off", set
+**Minimum number of matching products** to "5" and **Percentual discount on matching products** to "20.00".
+
+For a **buy-X-get-Y discount**, e.g. "if you buy 5 tickets, you get one free", set
+**Minimum number of matching products** to "5", **Percentual discount on matching products** to "100.00", and
+**Apply discount only to this number of matching products** to "1".
+
+Fixed group packages
 """"""""""""""""""""
 
-If you want to give out discounted tickets to groups starting at a given size, but still billed per person, you can do so by creating a special **Group ticket** at the per-person price and set the **Minimum amount per order** option of the ticket to the minimal group size.
+If you want to sell group tickets in fixed sizes, e.g. a table of eight at your gala dinner, you can use product bundles.
+Assuming you already set up a ticket for admission of single persons, you then set up a second product **Table (8 persons)**
+with a discounted full price. Then, head to the **Bundled products** tab of that product and add one bundle configuration
+to include the single admission product **eight times**. Next, create an unlimited quota mapped to the new product.
+
+This way, the purchase of a table will automatically create eight tickets, leading to a correct calculation of your total
+quota and, as expected, eight persons on your check-in list. You can even ask for the individual names of the persons
+during checkout.
+
+Minimum order amount
+""""""""""""""""""""
+
+If you want to promote discounted group tickets in your price list, you can also do so by creating a special
+**Group ticket** at the reduced per-person price and set the **Minimum amount per order** option of the ticket to the minimal
+group size.
 
 For more complex use cases, you can also use add-on products that can be chosen multiple times.
 
 This way, your ticket can be bought an arbitrary number of times – but no less than the given minimal amount per order.
