Managing custom discounts using Checkout Blocks

Plan requirement

Checkout Blocks is available only to merchants on the Shopify Plus plan.

You can edit, export and import, deactivate, and delete custom discounts using Checkout Blocks.

Searching for custom discounts powered by Checkout Blocks

Custom discounts built in and powered by the Checkout Blocks app display in the same Discounts page of your Shopify admin together with your regular discounts. You can identify which discounts in the list were created using the Checkout Blocks app in the following ways:

• When a discount is powered by Checkout Blocks, the discount Title won't display details about the discount below the title. Discounts built within Shopify itself display details beneath the discount title, for example: "Free shipping on all products · For all countries" or "$10.00 off entire order · One use per customer".
• When hovering your cursor over the discount types in the Type column, discounts powered by Checkout Blocks display a Checkout Blocks logo icon.
