What products to apply discount on
This section helps in assigning particular products or collections that need the discounts to be applied on.
In case of multiple rules here, the discount applies to the products in the following ways:
All rules should satisfy: The first rule is the parent rule and the rest are sub rules of the previous. For example: If the first rule is collection X in cart and second rule is product tags, the discount gets applied on the products in collection X that have the product tags assigned in rule 2.
At least one rule should satisfy: All the products assigned in all rules here qualify for the discount.
How much discount to apply
This is where you decide how and how much discount to apply on the products selected in the earlier section.
Percentage Off: Apply a % off discount on the selected products section once your customer satisfies the discount trigger.
Fixed Amount Off: Apply a fixed price discount based on your base currency (this gets converted if you have more than one currency on your store) on the on the selected products section once your customer satisfies the discount trigger.
Sell at Fixed Price: Instead of applying discounts, you can sell each of your discountable products at a fixed or discounted price using this option once your customer satisfies the discount criteria.
Limit number of Discountable Products
A limit can be setup on the number of products get discounted per order from the current offer once discount criteria is satisfied.
Total discountable products: Set an overall limit on all the selected products to be discounted in the cart. No bar on same/different products. For example, if the limit is 5 & the cart has 10 shirts , only 5 shirts will get the discount.
For same Products: Set limit on how many products you want to apply the discount on individual quantity level. For example, if the limit is 5 & the cart has 10 red shirts, 6 blue shirts, & 7 green shirts, only 5 of each shirt (red, blue & green) will get the discount.
For different Products: Set limit on how many different products you want to apply the discount on. For example, if the limit is 3 & the cart has 10 red shirts, 6 blue shirts, 7 green shirts & 4 yellow shirts, only 1 each of any three shirts (red, blue, & yellow or red, yellow & green etc.) will get the discount.
Sort Cart Items
By Product Price
Least Expensive: For all products in the cart that fall under “discount setup” category, this will apply the discount on the least expensive or cheapest product(s) in the cart once discount criteria is satisfied.
Most Expensive: For all products in the cart that fall under “discount setup” category, this will apply the discount on the most expensive product(s) in the cart once discount criteria is satisfied.
*By Line Item Price
Least Expensive: For all products in the cart that fall under “discount setup” category, this will apply the discount on the product(s) with the least expensive or cheapest line item price in the cart once discount criteria is satisfied.
Most Expensive: For all products in the cart that fall under “discount setup” category, this will apply the discount on the product(s) with the most expensive line item price in the cart once discount criteria is satisfied.
*Note: In Shopify, a line item price is the total cost of multiple units of the same product in an order. For example, if a customer buys 3 shirts at $20 each, the line item price is $60 (3 × $20). This differs from the product price, which is the cost of a single unit.
Select Discount Mode
You can choose whether to apply the discounts should apply automatically on the cart once qualified or only when the customer applies the code at checkout.
Automatic: Applies the discounts automatically to the cart once qualified.
Manual Code Discount: Applies the discount once the code (which is the Promotion Name) is added at the checkout (once qualified).
