# Cumulative Packages

> You can enable the "Cumulative Packages" feature to offer discounts to users based on the packages they have previously purchased.

## Introduction

When creating or editing a category, you can enable the **"Cumulative Packages"** feature. This option allows you to offer discounts to users **based on the packages they have previously purchased**.

### **Example**

Imagine your store has three ranks:

* **Rank A:** 10 USD
* **Rank B:** 20 USD
* **Rank C:** 30 USD

If a player named "example" purchases **Rank A**, the next time they visit your store, they will see:

* **Rank A:** Unavailable
* **Rank B:** ~~20 USD~~ **10 USD**
* **Rank C:** ~~30 USD~~ **20 USD**

This way, the player can upgrade their rank without paying the full price again.

### **Respecting Sales**

Consider two packages:

* **Rank A:** 10 USD
* **Rank B:** 20 USD

If a user buys **Rank A** for 10 USD, it essentially acts as a 10 USD credit. Now, if you apply a 50% discount to **Rank B**, reducing its price to 10 USD, the user can upgrade to **Rank B** for free. The 10 USD they initially spent on **Rank A** is credited back, allowing them to purchase **Rank B** without additional cost.

### **How to Enable Cumulative Packages**

To enable this feature:

1. **Select and edit** a category.
2. In the **Advanced Settings** section, check the **Cumulate the purchases inside of this category so customers only pay the difference when purchasing a higher priced package.** box.
3. **Save the changes**.

<Warning>
  **Subscriptions do not support cumulative packages**. If you plan to offer subscriptions, this feature cannot be enabled for the category.
