Custom discounts for orders

You can set up custom order discounts to determine the amount of discount to apply in the following ways:

  • Percentage discount: Reduces order total by the percentage specified.
  • Fixed amount discount: Reduces order total by the specified amount. If the specified amount is greater then the cart total, the order is free.

If you have multiple active order discounts, then the most recently-created order discount that passes the criteria applies.

Supported rules for order discounts

You can create a custom rule set to specify the conditions for when a given order discount applies. You can set it so that all rules must pass or any of the rules must pass in order for the discount to apply. These custom rules must be met regardless of any other discount settings you configure when creating the discount, such as minimum purchase requirements or customer eligibility requirements.

The following rule categories are supported for custom order discounts:

  • Shopify Market
  • Cart has a selling plan
  • Company
  • Customer is B2B
  • Customer order count
  • Customer tag
